The charges for maintenance are to be paid by the tenant either during his tenure or at the time of vacating the rented premises.
If you feel that the amount of deduction is exorbitant, you may inform the landlord that you will undertake the repair/whitewash charges and ask hi to return the entire amount.

He cannot do that unless their is a clause in the rental agreement for doing this so plz check ur rent agreement and if it's clean n their is no such clause u added in it as ur matter of right u file a case to get back the advance
