There was a controversy on this issue between Companies Act and accouning standard 11. While schedule VI said that the forex diff should be adjusted with the cost of the asset, AS advised to treat it in p/l account.
As per the latest information I have the controversy was resolved and it has been decided that the forex diff will be treated in P/l.
You may refer to any latest AS book (MP vijaykumar)
