When a parent company invests in debentures issued by its subsidiary, determining the correct accounting treatment in parent standalone financials is crucial. The debentures, with fixed interest rates and no conversion rights into equity, raise the question of whether they should be classified as part of the investment in the subsidiary or as financial assets. The document explores relevant provisions under the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), particularly Ind AS 27, Ind AS 32, and Ind AS 109, and the ITFG clarification focusing on the classification of these debentures either as financial assets or equity. The primary challenge lies in assessing whether these instruments should be treated under the investments in subsidiary category or classified as financial assets, based on their nature and the terms of the debenture.
