II nd entry is correct and the amount of Rs.20000/- is your exchange rate gain which is the invisible profit to the company and vice-versa.

is there any such illustration in any book so that i can support the answer because i am finding it difficult to convince the client who is insisting that there will be no exchange fluctuation.

The above answers seems to be wrong. We have to see the definition of Monetary item, which only require restatement. Any advances for purchase of raw material or capital items are not monetary items since you do not get fixed determined amount of money. Therefore, there is no requirement to restate advances paid for raw material and therefore inventory will get accounted at Rs 450,000. There is an EAC opinion from ICAI to support this. The position is same in IFRS as well.
Hope this clarifies.
