Debentures are instruments for raising debt. Debentures in India are typically secured by tangible assets. There are fully convertible, non‐convertible and partly convertible debentures.

Non‐Convertible Debentures (NCDs) are pure debt instruments without a feature of conversion. The NCDs are repayable on maturity. Partly convertible debentures have features of convertible and non‐convertible debentures. Thus, debentures can be pure debt or quasi‐equity, as the case may be.
