23 April 2012 we are a properitorship firm engaged in manufacturing of machinery. we took loan from SIDBI in foreign currency to purchase assets.on 31.03.2012 we arrrived at a loss of Rs. 18.50 lacs on account of foreign exchnage while valuing the outstanding amount in Loan with SIDBI.Loan is taken in foreign currency.

Can we claim the deduction of this loss in P&L Account or it will be disallowed under the provision of Income tax act.

28 April 2012 Yes this loss can be claimed in your P & L A/c but have you traded in machinery. If you have purchased machinery then you have to add the loss to the cost of machinery and automatically this loss will be allowed
