Hey! Here’s the clarification on your query about **interest on share application money received in foreign currency (USD) but refunded in INR:**
---
### What to consider for interest calculation on refunded share application money?
1. **Currency of original receipt:**
Since the application money was received in **USD 1000**, this is the principal amount actually paid by the applicant.
2. **Conversion to INR:**
You converted USD 1000 into INR 50,000 (assumed for example purposes).
3. **Interest calculation:**
* Interest should be calculated on the **amount in the currency in which money was actually received**, i.e., **USD 1000**.
* When refunding, if you refund in INR, calculate interest on USD 1000 and then convert that interest amount into INR at the **prevailing exchange rate** on the date of refund.
---
### Why?
* The **obligation is to pay interest on the amount actually received** by the company.
* The value in INR fluctuates due to exchange rates, so calculating interest on INR 50,000 (which may change with exchange rate) can be misleading.
* To be fair and transparent, interest is computed on the original foreign currency amount.
---
### Practical Steps:
* Determine the rate of interest agreed upon (if any), or statutory rate.
* Calculate interest on **USD 1000** for the period money was held.
* Convert the interest amount to INR at exchange rate on refund date.
* Refund principal (USD 1000 equivalent in INR) + interest amount (converted INR).
---
### Summary:
| Step | Explanation |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Principal Amount | USD 1000 (actual amount received) |
| Interest Calculation Basis | On USD 1000 |
| Refund Amount | Principal + Interest converted to INR |

If you want, I can help draft a sample calculation template or letter for refund including interest. Would that be useful?
