    A Accounts Payable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Short-term loan Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Provision for taxes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Debentures repayable after 5 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Bills payable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, liabilities are classified as Non-Current if they do not meet the criteria for a current liability. A liability is "non-current" if it is expected to be settled beyond 12 months from the reporting date or beyond the duration of the normal operating cycle. Since the debentures mentioned are repayable after 5 years, they represent a long-term obligation of the company.
