Please note the Limited Revision to Accounting Standard (AS) 11 (revised 2003)
"6. This Statement does not deal with exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs (see paragraph4(e) of AS 16, Borrowing Costs)."More expert views are awaited.

Snehal and Sukanya,
AS 11 para 6 ignores this transaction only because it is covered by the AS 16. however the excess of difference between interest on foreign loan and local loan is definetely covered by the AS 11.
In respect of the query your details are as follows:
1) explanation in AS 16 is applicable only in the cases interest on foreign loan is more than the interest on the local loan due to exchange rate difference.
2) the same is not applicable in case of the vice versa situation.
3) and even as per the AS - 11 revised, the exchange differences should be charged off to the profit and loss account as from the effective date, and FY09-10 is covered in it i believe.
3) in your case, such calculated gain/surplus should be taken to the profit and loss account as an income, or your can set off with your foreign exchange loss for the period.
Hope this clarification will help. write to me in case of further issues.
