This discussion explains how to account for a refundable deposit when purchasing a POS swipe machine. It provides a specific journal entry to record the purchase, correctly classifying the swipe machine as a non-current asset and the security deposit as a current asset on the balance sheet.

Pass following entry .

Security Deposit A)c Dr
Input CGST A/c Dr
Input SGST A/c Dr
To Trade Creditors A/c Cr
( Purchase of Swipe Machine )
..........
Note -
1) Show Swipe Machine under Non Current Asset , Balance sheet
2) Show Security Deposit under Current Asset, Balance sheet .

   Always Ask separate receipt  for Security Deposit 

Show security amount in deposits and investments under assets
