Insurance charges paid on 14.03.2011 should be reflate at current asset as prepaid expenses and not at profit & loss a/c, after 31.03.11 it should be expense out.

As u are saying that the amount paid by you pertains for the current financial year, so you have to pass the journal entry as Prepaid Insurance charges a/c Dr.
To Cash/Bank a/c
Doing this prepaid insurance charges will be shown under the head Loans and advances in Asset side.and on 01.04.2011 this will be reversed as Insurance charges a/c Dr.
To Prepaid Insurance charges a/c
so that the amount paid by you can be accounted in expense as it is for current year.
