If the payment done on the 10th of each month relates to that particular month, then no provision is requried for March to be done in the books as the payment for March would have been done on the 10th of the month.
However if payment ofr the current month is being made in the subsequent month then post the entry as follows on 31st MAr,
Interest Expense A/c dr
To- Interest payable.
In the month of Apr post the below entry
Interest Payable dr
Loan A/c dr
To- Bank
