22 September 2012 Accounting treatment followed is not correct.
Fluctuation,in this case, may be routed through 'exchange fluctuation a/c' instead of 'purchase import'a/c.

23 September 2012 As per my view, exchange difference due to foreign exchanges for import transaction should not be accumulated and should be transferred to P & L Account. its a foreign transaction and not a foreign operation...accumulation is allowed in foreign operation which may be integral or non integral.
