1. Sec 43A deals with the treatment of exchange rate difference on account of purchase of assets outside India and payment for the same in Foreign currency.
2. This section will allow the assessee to increase or decrease the value of the assets at the time of payments towards such an asset in foreign currency. On account of foreign exchange fluctuations either you could end up paying high or low compared to the time when the asset was purchased on credit or repayment of the loan for that matter.
3. Sec 43A essentially deals with increasing the value of the asset if you end up paying high and decrease the value of the asset if you end up paying low.
4. On the other hand AS 11 deals with treatment in Books of Accounts at the end of the period or value to be recognized at the reporting period.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
