The facility to submit first balance sheet for extended period was allowed in Companies Act only. Income tax return is to be filed even if the Company works for single day in a financial year.

Sec 139(1) Every person shall on or before the due date furnish a return of income …..during the previous year, in the prescribed form...
Sec 2(34) previous year means previous year as defined in Sec 3
Sec 3-previous year means financial year immediately preceding the assessment year
provided in case of business newly set up or a source of income newly coming into existence, in the said financial year, previous year shall be the period beginning with date of setting up business and ending with the said financial year.
In your case even though you have prepared financial year for 15 months as per Companies Act, you should prepare accounts for the broken period upto March for I-T purposes
