Debentures are debt security issued by companies, having a
certain MATURITY and bearing a stated COUPON RATE.
Debentures may be unsecured or secured by ASSETS such as
land and building of the issuing company. Debenture holders
have a prior claim on the earnings (coupon) and ASSETS in
the event of liquidation, as compared to PREFERENCE and
equity shareholders.
preference shares represent partial ownership in a company,
although preferred stock shareholders do not enjoy any of
the voting rights of common stockholders.The main benefit
to owning preference shares are that the investor has a
greater claim on the company's assets than common
stockholders Preferred shareholders always receive their
dividends first and, in the event the company goes bankrupt.

Answer / himanshu
The company can raise funds in different ways. Some of the
ways are:
1)Company Bonds- kind of a loan taken from investors. Bonds
have a validity, after which company has to repay the whole
principle amount.Investors have nothing to do with company
decision making.
2)Debentures- Almost same as bonds, but they dont have any
validity. Investors get the interest on their investment
like in case of Bonds.
3)Preferred Shares- These are preferred over equity shares
in case of dividend distribution as well as during
liquidation of the company.
4)Equity Shares- common shares that the peple can buy from
stock market. They are the most risky investment and last
one to get dividends.
