When Debenture holders are given equity share is it considered in purchase consideration? If no... How should they be treated in realization account and equity in purchasing company account...

Debentures would be transferred to realisation account. Shares would be issued to debenture holders directly

They are part of purchase consideration. Rule - anything given to equity holders is a part of purchase consideration.

So tht means if debenture holders are given equity then it will be part of purchase consideration

Sorry - I misread your question. Any thing given to debenture holders would not be a part of purchase consideration. In purchasing company books - instead of debentures being issued/ equity is issued. No change in treatment.
