Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a firm's outstanding credit balance can be settled using deposits made by its partners in their individual capacity. Generally, these are treated as separate transactions and cannot be offset without mutual agreement. If both parties consent, they can formalise this by signing a document agreeing to the adjustment. The consensus is that such an agreement is legally admissible and enforceable, especially since deposits typically don't accrue interest.

No, the partners of the firm cannot request the company to adjust the outstanding credit balance of the firm with their individual deposits. The credit balance of the firm and the deposits made by the partners are two separate transactions, and they cannot be set-off against each other without the mutual agreement of both parties.

What if they mutually agree for the same? They will mutually sign a document declaring their consent for mutual adjustment of personal account with firm and company accounts. 

Is this admissible and ahreeable under the law?

Do any agreement between parties make and VOIDE transaction done by them enforced in law??
Arrange for an agreement , because the deposits won't fetch you any interest. Adjust the payable with deposits.
