I have done the import for $13843.20. I booked the purchase with the bill of entry rate(Rs.53.25/$). But i made the payment for $14659, based on Proforma Invoice at Rs.52.705.
My Query is, for how much exchange fluctuation has to be booked and on what amount(whether on 13843.20 or 14659)

I dont think purchase cost of goods should be adjusted for the exchange fluctuation. You should book the goods at a rate prevailing on the date of transfer of risks and rewards to the buyer. All other exchange differences on settlement of the creditors should be treated as exchange gains or losses.
