30 November 2008 Dear colleagues : Please favor me with your professional replies to the following query:
---------------------------------------------
We are a small Pvt. Ltd. manufacturing Company. We have taken foreign currency loan in US $. Part of the loan is for purchasing capital assets & part is for working capital.
For the purpose of Balancesheet as on 31-3-2008, the outstanding loan amount is converted into Indian Rupees at the rate prevailing on that date. This has resulted in NOTIONAL exchange gain as the Rupee was appreciated vis-à-vis $. (i.e. the outstanding loan liability in terms of INRs is reduced).

Please advise whether income tax is payable for F Y 2007-08 on this NOTIONAL exchange gain. If yes, please inform:

(i) the relevant Section/Rule/Notification reference,
(ii) the tax implications, in case the Rupee depreciates subsequently as compared to 31-3-2008 at the time of making the actual repayment of installments & the actual amount repaid in FY 2008-09 is MORE than its relevant balancesheet amount.

Thanks & regards

Vishwas
