Most companies retire debentures by issuing another set of debentures, hence, most companies don't park funds for retiring debentures by creating any fund. The bond market will surely get affected negatively by such a move of the ministry of corporate affairs.
Section 117C of the Companies Act, 1956, requires every company issuing debentures to create a debenture redemption reserve (DRR) for the redemption of such debentures and transfer an 'adequate' amount from its profits every year to such DRR until the issued debentures are redeemed. Hence, every issue of redeemable debentures requires creation of a DRR. The said Section, however, does not provide the meaning of the word 'adequate'. In the year 2002, the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) issued a circular clarifying the meaning of 'adequate' and provided the percentage which is mandatorily required to be transferred to DRR by certain class of companies. However, to develop the bonds market, MCA issued another clarification circular on 11 February 2013 (Circular 2013)

No Debentures can not be redeemed out of capital only. Gov of India and SEBI has indirectly placed restrictions on redemption of debentures. Now it is compulsory to create Debenture Redemption Reserve at-least 50% of the debentures issued.
Indian Companies Act of 1956 added during an amendment in the year 2000. It states Indian company that issues debentures must offer debenture redemption service to protect investors against the possibility of company default. If a company does not create a reserve within 12 months of issuing the debentures, they will be required to pay 2 percent interest in penalty to the debenture holders. Only debentures that were issued after the amendment in 2000 are subject to the debenture redemption service.
When debentures are redeemed payment is made from a reserve which is created at the time of purchase of such debentures,therefore at the time of payment first it is transferred to general reserve then as it is expenditure to company.
When debentures are redeemed out of capital, no transfer is made to general reserve or debenture redemption reserve account. In this method it is assumed that the company has sufficient funds to redeem the debentures. So the profits are not utilised to replace the debentures.It affects adversely to the Working Capital of the company.
Redemption of Debenture was enacted into Indian law in 2000. It states that any Indian company with a debenture trust must also have a plan in place for its investors, in case of the company's failure.
