We booked the Import purchase @ 52 per dollar in the month of April 2012 and now wants to make payment in Jan 2013 and suppose the $ rate is 54, can we book the loss of difference amount even if the payment is made in the same financial year ?

Yes. You should. However if the purchase is of a capital goods the loss should be added to the cost of the asset for income tax purpose.
