Service tax on refundable deposit from franchisee

Wherther a private company is liable to service tax on refundable deposits collected from franchisees under the franchise agreement. Will dept. treat it as value of service?

please indicate relevant notification/circulars if any.

Refundable deposits are not liable to service tax.

The amount recived towards refundable deposits cannot be called a consideration and they are not charged for a taxable service. Therefore not liable. No ciruclars/ notifications to my knoweldge on this aspect.
