Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct exchange rate to use when recording imported goods in India. For GST purposes, the rate notified by the CBIC under Section 14 of the Customs Act should be used. However, for accounting in your books, the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction is generally applied as per accounting standards like AS 11. The difference arising from using these two rates should be accounted for and transferred to an 'Exchange Rate Difference' account.

Rate should be accountable as per customs clearance rate (at the time of clearance)...
But what about as 11 which requires to record foreign transaction as per the ongoing exchange rates on that date
Can't understand...
For GST purpose goods rate of exchange shall be the same as notified by Board under Section 14 of the Customs Act (i.e. CBIC Rate) & In books of accounts the difference shall be reconciled & difference need to transfer under "Exchange Rate Difference"
