The details
The 10-month deposit was standard in Bangalore for years. In the 3,114 deposits our users reported, it now shows up in just 6% of cases — mostly older independent houses and a few premium flats. The common range is 2–6 months (92% of reports).
If you are asked for 10 months, it is reasonable to negotiate — point to comparable flats nearby that ask less (the map shows each owner's deposit).
