Share and debenture are two types of securities that are issued by a company. A share is a unit of equity ownership in the company while a debenture is a debt instrument that is secured against the assets of a company.

Shares: Shares give you an ownership stake in the company. In exchange for lending your money to the company, you receive an equity stake in the firm. You are entitled to a portion of any profits generated by the company, as well as any dividends paid out by the firm.

Debentures: Debentures are loans made to companies by investors who receive interest payments over time on their investments. Debentures can be secured or unsecured, depending on whether they are backed by collateral like real estate or other assets owned by the company being financed. A share is a security that represents an ownership interest in a corporation. A debenture is a debt instrument. The difference between the two is that shares are equity in a company, and debentures are debt.

Shares can be sold on the open market, but debentures can only be traded on the secondary market. Debentures are also often preferred by investors because they have fixed returns and maturities, whereas shares may not be as predictable.
