It Seems your Qtn not properly framed.

Is it FCNRB Converted Loan?

 

I do not know what is FCNRB Loan. But does that make any difference ?

Just want to know this much.....

An establishment that is required to report items in INR....borrows money in foreign currency...say @ 10%.....if the interest rate prevailing in India is 15 %.......what are the journal entries..?

For instance Loan USD 100000 @ 45 on 31/03/2012 principal equally payable over 5 years...

Interest @ 10 %...Indian rate 15 %......

Payment on 31/03/2013 @ 47....then journal entries.....

Have you checked Bank Statement from where loan taken. and related loan documents.

Where loan amount credited.

oh...no..not a real situation like the query for fixed asset...just to learn AS 11 for my examination.....but I do not understand...does that matter...when credited..took from where..what you do with it ?..on books of accounts...if it is so..please tell me...
