1. Security deposit deducted from salary is for the purpose of security in case if the employee's action results in any uncertain loss to the company.
2. This deposit is in the nature of liability to the company and it should be returned to the employee at the time of his relieving from the company.
3. The proper accounting entry would be,
Salary Dr
To Security deposit A/c
To Bank A/c
Security deposit in the above case will go to the Liability side of the BS in companies Books.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
