X ltd has purchased DEPB entitlement for 95 Rs against license value of Rs. 100 from Y ltd for import of raw material. X Ltd has imported material worth 1000 and the import duty component amount is Rs100. By using the DEPB purchased entitlement the import duty amount is adjusted, though license is purchased at 95 from Y. What are the accounting entries to be passed for the transaction-

Whether the given below entries are ok in X Ltd books:

2)for import of material with payment of duty-
