How is a debenture redeemed?

A debenture is typically redeemed at its maturity date, where the issuer repays the principal amount to the debenture holder. This can occur through a lump-sum payment or in installments, depending on the terms outlined in the debenture agreement. Additionally, issuers may have the option to redeem debentures early, often at a premium, under specific conditions. Redemption procedures and terms should be clearly stated in the debenture documentation.
