One PSU has received FC Loan out of an international agreement for developmental purpose. In the notes to accounts, it said that it had not considered forex diff. in borrowing cost due to non-confirmation of balance by the foreign lender? Is this treatment correct? Interest had been calculated considering day balances?

The FC loan should have been revalued at the forex rate prevailing at the date of Balance Sheet and accordingly FOREX gain or loss should have been recognised.(AS 11)
The question "Interest had been calculated considering day balances?" is not clear. 6. This Statement(AS 11) does not deal with exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs (see paragraph 4(e) of AS 16, Borrowing Costs).
