Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to calculate foreign exchange gains when discounting export bills through HDFC Bank and how to record these transactions in Tally. It covers setting up a Forex Gain/Loss ledger and passing journal entries to reflect the exchange rate differences. The advice also touches upon year-end revaluations and the proper classification of forex gains as indirect income.

  • Create a ledger FOREX GAIN & LOSS under Indirect Expenses
  • Gateway of Tally >> Accounting Info >> Voucher Type >> Alter >> Journal >> Name of class. specify a name say 'Forex '.
  • In the sub-screen, Use Forex Gain/Loss adjustments = yes >> select the Forex gain & loss ledger and accept.
  • To adjust the unadjusted forex gain/loss in balance sheet, pass a journal entry.
  • Dr Party, Cr FOREX GAIN & LOSS
  • And select the Bill References.
  • Accept the voucher to remove unadjusted forex gain loss

if it is sales, you will record gain. Discounting means bank charges? If so expense them. 

 

No one more thing I forgot to mention, revaluations take place on every transaction. What is finalised by the year end must be treated to revaluation reserves accordingly as per as 10 revaluations, 1944891 is the year end, then that is revaluation for the year end. The last gain will be recorded in the next year. I hope you got it.

This is fine now, I found out assessment Year is over, I guess it’s new year. All the best.
