Hi,I have a query regarding the date on which the foreign exchage rate is to be taken.

E.g. Company A(India) pays Commission to the service provider(outside India) at a certain percentage of the revenue raised on a client. The conversion rate as on which date should be taken for the commission recognition in the books? Is it as on the date of the Commission Invoices or the date of revenue invoice raised to the client or on the date when commission invoice is entered into the books?
