We have taken a loan in US$ but we wishes to pay in INR, so we have entered into Cross Currency Swap. Thus, now we have to pay in INR & @ fixed rate of interest in place of USD & @ floating interest rate. Thus, for last month, we pay interest to our Swap Bank as INR 935000 @fixed rate of interest in place of USD 8000 @ floating rate of interest. Our Swap Bank receives INR 935000 from us while our Swap bank pays USD 8000 to foreign Bank.
Now, we convert this USD 8000 @ current currency rate i.e 1 USD = INR 45, equivalent 360000. We deduct the TDS on INR 360000 @ 10 % as per DTAA. (On basis of Form 15 CA & the CA Certificate in Form 15CB) TDS = 36000.
Now, in our books we are showing Interest as INR 935000 but TDS as INR 36000 effective 3.85%
Whether we are deducting TDS correctly and whether our accounting for cross currency swap is correct. Also, suggest which amount to show in TDS Return. Please advise.
