in my opinion..date of purcahse shal be the date on which possession is taken(when it is removed for home consumption)..relevant date for depreciation purpose shall be the date of installation and the exchange rate should be as per agreement..

see the date of exchange rate for determnaintion of custome duty is the date of bill of entry .

for subsequent changes in exchange rate AS 11 is to be followed

dep. allowable from date of installtion on the value which calculated as per AS 10

AS 10 covers all non refunddable expenses till date of installtion.

I agreed with Ca pooja, Date of puchase is reconed when the goods mix with massgoods in india.. it should be the date of bill of entry passed. and from dep point of view date of instalation will be taken as per sec 32. that is put to use.
