You should seperately pass entries on two dates in March and in April and May
As suggested some one entry is correct
in May month entry
Electricity exp 4985/- Dr.
prepaid Electricity 4985/-Cr
In March month balance sheet such rent should be shown as current assets under prepaid expenses. And in April and May you should pass payment entries
You can not book in prepaid expenses as the bill date is in next year so you can not book whole bill in March.
however you can crate expenses payable for rs 4985/- to book march expenses only.
and reverses payable account in the month when bill actually received.
