Yes, Minimum Subscripttion is applicable for debenture issue as well. As per SEBI guidelines, 2000, no company is allowed to make allotment of Shares or Debentures unless it has received atleast a minimum of 90% of the subscripttion against the entire issue.

The Underwriter gives an assurance/Commitment to take shares or debentures in case of a shortfall in minimum Subscripttion. For more details refer Sec 76 of The Companies Act, 1956.
