30 March 2016 where comes the question of profit or loss.... the purchase is for self use/consumption. No? The cost of the inport would be booked at actual rupee value spent.

31 March 2016 The asset will appear at Actual Cost.
AS 11 is NOT applicable in your case. It is meant for FORWARD exchange contract.
Yours is a straight case of payment as per the prevailing exchange rates. In that case there arises no any question of profit/loss due to exchange rate fluctuations
