(1)IN case of import of assets the date on which risk and rewards associated with the asset transfer to the buyer from seller should be considered. so its depends upon whether its a FOB contract transaction or CIF contract transaction. As in absence of information we assumed the transaction date is 25th feb, the day when good got clearance from port in favour of buyer. Therefor the exchange rate prevailing on 25th feb should be considered for capitalization of assets in books. (2)At the reporting date the liability in foreign currency be reported at closing rate and the difference will be recoganised in income statement.

Please brief out the question. What is the date when full and final payment has been made against the purchase.... In any case, the foreign exchange fluctuation has to be given effect on the reporting date.

Mr. Vikas is correct, but for the purpose of Income Tax, exchange difference arising on payment will be added to the cost/wdv of the assets as per section 43A.
