23 July 2012 As far as I am aware , there are certain Provisions for IT companies specifically in this regard.
But yes one thing is for sure they need to provide you with the exchange rates at which these invoices were booked and realised. It is not automatic, you need to ask them the source of pulling the exchange rates.
and for determining Exchange Loss:

Invoice rate(rate on the date of invoice)
LESS: Income (bank , rate on the date of receipt)= Exchange Loss/Gain.
