TDS amount is $ 1250. Since TDS is required to be deducted at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier, TDS shall be converted into Rupees using the exchange rate as on 1.6.2012.
The difference arising due to change in exchange rate is foreign exchange loss/gain and will not affect the amount of TDS.
Entries will be as under:
1.6.2012 Expense A/c Dr 7,02,600 To Creditor 6,32,340 To TDS Payable 70,260
TDS Payable A/c Dr To Bank A/c
Now you have to pay $ 11,250 to the creditor which you will pay as per the exchange rate prevailing on the date of payment.
Creditor A/c Dr 6,32,340 To Bank A/c 6,20,224 To Foreign Exchange Fluctuation 12,116
The change in exchange rate DOES NOT affect the TDS amount.
