therefore entry passed
debtors a/c db 4,90,000
to sales a/c 4,90,000

now i have not received the money as on 31.03.2009 therefore i restate the debtors to the rate as on 31.03.2009 where the rate was Rs.45
foreign exchange loss a/c db 40,000
to debtors a/c 40,000
IS THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOSS OF Rs.40,000 ALLOWABLE UNDER INCOME TAX ACT

support ur answer by necessary notification/circulars/judgement etc.

14 May 2009 Yes this is allowed under income tax act. This don't need to be supported by the case law/circular/notification.

It is prudent account concept, you can claim that.

14 May 2009 Dear,


Under Income tax act any forign gain or loss on account of revenue transaction, either reliased or unrealised is taxable or allowable as the case may be. You can take support from Delhi ITAT decision in the case of ONGC and Maruti India. Since in this exaple the loss is due to ssle transcaion, sale being a revenue transactions, losses are fully allowable. For further clarification let me know.

14 May 2009 In my opinion, since the loss is not actual, it is not allowable.
The relevant judgement is R.D tradelink V/s Mumbai ITAT.
