mr. dilip,
FOB = COST OF GOODS SOLD IN INDIAN RUPEES .
CIF= COST OF GOODS SOLD WITH INSURANCE AND FREIGHT
SUPPOSE,
IF YOU SOLD THE GOODS IN USA OF 4000.00 USD
AND 1 USD RATE IS RS. 45.00
YOUR FOB IN INDIAN RS. IS:- 4000*45 = RS. 1,80,000.00
AND IF FREIGHT IS 400 .00USD
AND INSURANCE IS 600.00 USD
NOW, YOUR FOB IN USD =4000(-)1000= 3000.00 IN USD
AND IN INR FOB WILL :- 3000*45= RS. 1,35,000.00
AND ACCORDING EXPERT YOU GO TO PATH:-
