04 June 2010 Dear Raj,
Foreign exchange gain/loss is an item of p&L a/c and not current liabilty.

So on 31st March,2010, the following entry should be passed:

Customer A/c Dr. 500*(48-45)
To Foreign Exchange Gain (P&L) 500*(48-45)

If the part payment of recievables has been received during the year and no interim financials are required to be prepared, then the next variation due to forex has to be booked either at the time of final realisation or year end, whichever is earlier and gain/loss has to be booked accordingly in the P&L a/c.
