10 July 2010 any exchange gain or loss arised due to difference in rate cant be adjusted in purchase, it is to be disclosed under the account head foreign currency exchange gain/loss. and this account to be closed by transferring to P&L a/c. one more thing needs to be clarified that if your balance sheet date comes in between the transaction date and settlement date then liability is to be disclosed at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
