If you can identify those expenses trip-wise. You can show these expenses as deferred revenue expenditure in the balance sheet as "Expenses on Uncompleted Trips".
In income tax, profit is calculated based on the accounting process followed. In this case, you can claim this expense in next FY.

There is no accounting standard for this situation. You can choose any accounting policy as per accounting framework.

I went through this again. And I'd like to add that this does not create any asset for you. Even AS 26 prohibits from showing non-asset things on balance sheet's asset side.
Hence, you should charge these expenses in the March month. Do not follow my earlier advice.

No. Actually, it's about whether the amount spent is an asset.
AS-26, para 56 is: expense incurred for future benefits, but doesn't create any asset, is recognized as expense.
