Solution

Current maturities of long term debt is a current liability as now the debt has been matured for repayment. Debentures are non-current liability, this is because debentures are long-term borrowing instruments with maturities usually extending beyond one year. Uncalled liability on shares is classified as Contingent Liabilities & commitments. Deferred tax liabilities are expected to be settled more than one year into the future, so they fall under the non-current liabilities category.
