₹ 1,60,000 as other Current liability and ₹ 6,40,000 as Long term borrowing. Explanation: Total debentures: ₹ 8,00,000 Redeemable in 5 equal annual instalments, so each instalment = (₹ 8,00,000)/5 = ₹ 1,60,000 As of 31st March, 2021, the first instalment is due within 12 months (on 1st April, 2022), so ₹ 1,60,000 is shown as Current Liability, and the balance ₹ 6,40,000 as Long-Term Borrowing.
