As you clearly say its a security for the contract, the amount is a refundable once the contract is completed.
though the contract is completed & the security deposit amount is not recoverable & if the contractor feels that it is not recoverable & 3 years has elapsed, then you can claim it as bad debts. Even if 3yrs has not elapsed, But the Contractor is not in a position to collect the amount, he may claim it as bad debts.
IF THE SAME AMOUNT IS COLLECTED LATERON, THEN IT SHALL BE TAXABLE AS DEEMED INCOME, AS YOU HAVE ALREADY CLAIMED IT AS EXPENSES
Hope it is clear
