let suppose I am Manufacturer of PVC Pipe. I appointed small dealers for sale of my product for that i kept Rs 20000 as refundable security deposit when they start work with me. Now i had opened a Master dealer in their area & i will bill to him & he will distribute the stock to small dealers. Can i transfer the security deposit of Rs 20000 to Master dealer which is standing as liability in my books? Please guide solution & process if yes..

Here, it is the responsibility of the deposit receiver to refund the amount when the contract between them gets over. So, unless there is any tri-party agreement or the consent obtained from the small dealer, you should not hand over the responsibility to your master dealer.
