An important query

A Company received 1000 euros from his parent company in the year 2009.The exchange rate at which the company recieved the money (suppose) was Rs 50.00 from bank.The company after finding the discrepency in the exchage rate asked the bank to pay the differential amou

nt .In the year 2009 the bank said the difference in the exchange rate was due to various charges for which the rate doesnt match with the rate provided by RBI.In the year 2010 the bank after an investigation was satisfied that there was a discrepency paid the differential amount which amounted to 27,50.0000.The auditor booked the amount received as income as they felt that the money which was returned is the amount which the bank has deducted wrongly as bank charges.

                  My question is whether this amount is a capital receipt & is not taxable ? My query arises on my view that in the year when we will return the money the exchnge difference will be considered to be a capital loss & not a business loss & no deduction will be given if we have to pay more.

Well, the treatment depends on the accounting you were done initially

It the difference was adjusted to Loan received from Parent company initially, now we should adjust the amount received from bank to caarying amount and while you are repaying the same to Parent company the difference between amount repaid in INR and Caarying amount trasferred to profit and loss account 

 

Or

 

If the difference was treated as bank charges initially, now the amount returned by bank should be treated as Income and same should be credited to profit and loss account

I agree with Prakesh.

agree with prakash

there is no 2 treatment , it will be treated as income only

 here i have read your question and after reading it a find that as per as 11 "accounting for foreign exchange transaction '' when  the time at which descrepancies arises  at that time copany is required to charge its loss in p&l a/c in the year 2009 it self and in 2010 when cmpany receives it back then it should br credited in p&l a/c........................

I think it is a capital receipt because at the time when u received money u must have recorded at 50rs per euro but say actual rate was 52rs per euro.

 So u must have credited that parent co's a/c with 50rs.

and now as u have received more 2rs. u must credit it to parent co's a/c.

As eventually it will hit  ur p&l via exchange rate fluctuation a/c.
