Earnest in Malayalam

Earnest in its commercial sense, the money put down in advance to seal an agreement, is മുന്‍പണം (munpanam) in Malayalam. You will meet it in property and rental dealings, where an advance is expected before anything is signed. For earnest as an adjective meaning sincere, the words listed here offer no direct match.
