First you need to indentify the method of valuation of closing stock i,e FIFO or Average Rate. The same should be in consistence with the method adopted in the previous year.
The rate of RM & consumable should be valued on the basis of landed cost i.e net of input credit availed (VAT & CENVAT)
WIP & FG should be valued considering the appropriate factory overhead. Refer the Costing Standards published by ICWAI for more details
