We are exporting Fibre to various customers residing out of the India and due to that we are eligible for DEPB incentive scheme of 5% introduced by Government. We take provision on the basis of actual sales, however We made application for DEPB only after actual realization of goods exported. There is a difference in incentive amount because of difference in actual realization and actual sales booked. Here, the issue is, whether we can book this difference as a foreign exchange gain/loss as per AS-11.
The issue is we will get benefit from Indian Government and there wont be any foreign curreny transaction. Difference arises due to foreign exchange transaction which we had at the time of export sale.
