He intends to set up a life insurance company in India and after due diligence has decided to align himself with an Indian Company. The negotiated terms and conditions of the joint venture agreement are as under: The proposed insurance company will also issue 9 year secured debentures carrying an interest rate of 11% p.a. The issue will be of ₹25 crore, the whole of which will be subscribed to by the companies controlled by X.

Answer & Explanation:

This it is not advisable to consider the proposal of issuing 11% Secured Debentures for 9 years of value of ₹25 crores to be held by group company of X.
