Forward cover and bank charges are 2 different things:
Mr. A has taken a forward cover of $1500 @ 40/$ Mr. A is bound by this cover
If Mr. A has in effect only $1400, then he can give this to bank and receive $1400 @ 40 Rs. 56,000, irrespective of the exchange rate at that date (It could be 42 or 37) Now he is also bound to sell $1500 as per forward cover but could only sell $1400. The remaining $100, he will either have a profit (37) or loss (42) depending on what the exchange rate would be.
