plaid

'for tartan' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'minimum cash deposited' is the wordplay.
'minimum cash' becomes 'p' (abbreviation for pence. I am not sure about the 'minimum' bit.).
'deposited' becomes 'laid' (I've seen this before).
'p'+'laid'='PLAID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plaid that I've seen before include "Tartan cloth, part of Highland dress" , "Scotsman's cloth" , "Tartan patterned cloth" , "Cloth with a criss-cross design" , "Check fabric" .)
