Key points to consider:
Nature of Security Deposit (SD):
Usually, SD is a refundable deposit, not a consideration for supply, so GST is not applicable on receipt or refund of SD itself.
When SD becomes taxable:
If the SD is adjusted against supply/services rendered (like toll charges or revenue loss), then the adjusted amount becomes consideration for supply, and GST applies on that amount.
GST on Adjusted Amount:
Since ₹6 lakhs is being adjusted/recovered against revenue loss or supply, it will attract GST as per applicable rate on your supply (infrastructure service, toll, etc.).
You need to raise a tax invoice for ₹6 lakhs + applicable GST on this recovery.
TDS deduction:
The party deducting TDS should deduct on the value inclusive of GST as per the Income Tax rules.
You should ensure proper accounting of GST on this amount.
