Working Notes:

Amount required to be transferred to DRR = 25% of Face Value of Debentures

= 25% of Rs 20,00,000 = Rs 5,00,000

Existing Balance in DRR = Rs 2,00,000

Therefore, Amount transferred to DRR = Rs 5,00,000 – 2,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000

Amount required to be transferred to DRI = 15% of Face Value of Debentures

= 15% of Rs 20,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000
