1. The Security Amount is an advance against rent and the entry for this transaction should be

Bank A/c Dr 60000

To Rent A/c 15000

To Security (Rent) 45000

At the end of 11th Month (each month):

Security (Rent) A/c Dr. 15000

To Rent A/c 15000

Now there are Rs. 30000 remaining in Security (Rent) A/c which will be showing at Liability Side of B/Sheet and transferred to Rent account in Apr & May month.

2. Since Rs. 45000/- is an advance so there are no TDS liability on this amount. You should pay TDS on Rs. 15000/- PM (rent Amount)

3. No, You have to pay TDS on 12 months' rent only in this year. 3000/- will be as Income from next FY earned in current year
