As regards foreign exchange differences, the point to be seen is whether that is Profit and Loss account item or Balance Sheet item. In the case of Profit and Loss item, then it can be shown in P& L , as per the Accounting Standard 11.
In the case of a Balance Sheet item, then it should be shown in the Balance Sheet of the Pvt limited company.

AS 11 treatment will prevail. P&L items will be in P&L and Balance Sheet items will be treated in Balance Sheet. Thus plase send more details to clarify the same. AS 11 more details can be forwarded to you.
