Please tell me about the treatment when security deposit is in the form of Call Deposit Receipt/security deposit receipt
I do not understand what is Call Deposit Receipt/Security Deposit Receipt

Is this when the vendor provides you with a receipt or letter as a Security Bond to claim from the Bank in the event of default by the vendor? If so, there is no accounting entries to record in the books since no cash has exchanged.
