I beleive here the substance over form principle and matching principle should prevail.. as per form though it is not the concerned period expenditure, but this in substance an expenditure which is incurred in the period ended 31st mar-08. So this expense should be treated as the expenditure pertaining to the period ended 31 mar-08.
