The difference in payment due to change in exchange rate shall be treated as exchange loss or gain and as per AS 11, it shall be charged/vredited to the P&L Account, as the case may be.

AS PER AS-11. SUCH DIFFERENCE SHALL BE CHARGED TO PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT, HOWEVER AS PER AMENDMENT OF COMPANIES (ACCOUNTING STANDARD RULES-2009) SUCH DIFFERENCE UPTO 31.3.2011 SHALL BE CHARGED TO FIXED ASSETS.
HENCE THERE WAS TWO TREATMENT OF THE DIFFERENCE UPTO 31.3.2011, AND POLICY USED BY THE COMPANY MUST BE DISCLOSED BY NOTES TO ACCOUNTS.
Now, AS REVISED SHEDULE-VI IS APPLICABLE FROM 01.04.2011 AND ITS CLEAR IN THE REVISED SHEDULE THAT ALL ACCOUNTING STANDARD SHALL PREVAIL TO ALL CLOSE OF REVISED SHEDULE-VI.
