Your salary of March will be taxed in the previous year in which it is received and you will get credit of tds in the same previous year.
In case of TDS other than TDS on salary, TDS is deducted on date of payment or credit whichever is earlier.

ANY ONE ELSE CAN RESOLVE MY QUERIES.
SIMPLE QUESTIONS
WHAT IS DATE OF CREDIT FOR TDS LAWS
WHETHER OF DATE OF BOOKING OR DATE OF BILLING BY THE PARTY
AND IN CASE OF SALARY PAYMENTS, MARCH SALARY PAID IN APRIL WHETHER TDS TO BE DEDUCTED ON 31ST MARCH AND PAYABLE ON OR BEFORE 31ST MAY OR TDS TO BE DEDUCTED ON THE DATE OF PAYMENT AND PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS FROM THE END OF MONTH.
Date of payment or credit, whichever is earlier, will be taken as relevant date for TDS.
So its the question of booking of bill or payment, will be THE date for TDS.
How to justify, a booking after the date of bill or receipt date of bill ?
The answer : you may recd a bill & you follow a policy of booking it only when it is approved by the authorized person. So a booking date after the bill date can be justified.
Further...while booking any expenses / provision, a principal or relevancy works. That means any expenses or provision pertaining to a particular financial year should not be prolonged to the next financial year.
So as long as the booking date varies within the financial year , it can be justified.

Now.. on to your 2nd question. TDS on salary.
Here also the same principle follows & accordingly, since the salary is pertaining to March, so it has to be booked in March only & the TDS has to be paid by the 7th of next month.

TDS on salary to be deducted at the time of payment of salary only and not at the time of credit as per section 192.
Section 192 is the only exception to the rule of payment or credit whichever is less. So TDS deductible at the time of payment only.
However in view to issue TDS certificate and to show TDS deductible on salary paid during the year and so that income matches will TDS claim and hence is deducted at the time of credit for the month of March and paid to the central government.
