As per Accounting standard 11 for sale it should be recorded the exchange rate prevailing on the date of sale. Customs exchange should not be adopted. A foreign currency transaction should be recorded, on initial recognition in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting an enterprise’s monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, should be recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.
