As per section 7 of G & W Act :Power of the Court to make orders as to guardianship. - (1) Where the Court is satisfied that it is for the welfare of a minor that an order should be made- Appointing a guardian of his person or property or both, or declaring a person to be such a guardian the Court may make an order accordingly.

However you have been misguided by somebody that you have to pay a deposit of the amount specified to you, beware of fraudsters.

No such rule / law exist under Guardians & Wards Act, 1890 for seeking security of person or property of the minor in appointment of a guardian.
