Fixed Deposits are one of the oldest and most common
methods of investing. When it comes to assured returns,
choosing the right type of savings scheme makes all the
difference. Fixed Deposits let you make the most of
value-added benefits as you create wealth at low risk.
Fixed Deposits in companies that earn a fixed rate of
return over a period of time are called Company Fixed
Deposits.
Corporate Deposits are
loan arrangements where a specific amount of funds is
placed on deposit under the name of the account holder.
The money placed on deposit earns a fixed rate of
interest, according to the terms and conditions that
govern the account. The actual amount of the fixed rate
can be influenced by such factors at the type of
currency involved in the deposit, the duration set in
place for the deposit, and the location where the
deposit is made.

DEBENTURE
A type of debt instrument that is not -secured by
physical asset or collateral. Debentures are backed only
by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the
issuer. Both corporations and governments frequently
issue this type of bond in order to secure capital. Like
other types of bonds, debentures are documented in an
indenture.
Debentures have no collateral. Bond buyers generally
purchase debentures based on the belief that the bond
issuer is unlikely to default on the repayment. An
example of a government debenture would be any
government-issued Treasury bond (T-bond) or Treasury
bill (T-bill). T-bonds and T-bills are generally
considered risk free because governments, at worst, can
print off more money or raise taxes to pay these type of
debts
A debenture is a document that either creates a debt or
acknowledges it, and it is a debt without collateral. In
corporate finance, the term is used for a medium- to
long-term debt instrument used by large companies to
borrow money. In some countries the term is used
interchangeably with bond, loan stock or note.
A debenture is thus like a certificate of loan or a loan
bond evidencing the fact that the company is liable to
pay a specified amount with interest and although the
money raised by the debentures becomes a part of the
company's capital structure, it does not become share
capital. Senior debentures get paid before subordinate
debentures, and there are varying rates of risk and
payoff for these categories.
There are two types of
debentures:
- Convertible
debentures, which are convertible bonds or
bonds that can be converted into equity shares of
the issuing company after a predetermined period of
time. "Convertibility" is a feature that
corporations may add to the bonds they issue to make
them more attractive to buyers. In other words, it
is a special feature that a corporate bond may
carry. As a result of the advantage a buyer gets
from the ability to convert, convertible bonds
typically have lower interest rates than
non-convertible corporate bonds.
- Non-convertible
debentures, which
are simply regular debentures, cannot be converted
into equity shares of the liable company. They are
debentures without the convertibility feature
attached to them. As a result, they usually carry
higher interest rates than their convertible
counterparts.
