12 August 2025 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.
