I made a sale of $10,000/- on 25th march 2009 where the rate was Rs.49 therefore entry passed debtors a/c db 4,90,000 to sales a/c 4,90,000
now i have not received the money as on 31.03.2009 therefore i restate the debtors to the rate as on 31.03.2009 where the rate was Rs.45 foreign exchange loss a/c db 40,000 to debtors a/c 40,000 IS THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOSS OF Rs.40,000 ALLOWABLE UNDER INCOME TAX ACT
support ur answer by necessary notification/circulars/judgement etc.
Under Income tax act any forign gain or loss on account of revenue transaction, either reliased or unrealised is taxable or allowable as the case may be. You can take support from Delhi ITAT decision in the case of ONGC and Maruti India. Since in this exaple the loss is due to ssle transcaion, sale being a revenue transactions, losses are fully allowable. For further clarification let me know.
