Questions & Answers about यह लेन-देन मेरा नहीं है।
Here यह means this or this one.

A useful note:

लेन-देन means transaction, dealings, exchange, or sometimes financial dealing, depending on context.
It is a fixed expression made from:
- लेन = taking
- देन = giving
So the literal sense is something like give-and-take, which naturally became transaction/dealing.
The hyphen shows that लेन-देन is a paired expression: two linked parts that function together as one idea.
Hindi has many such paired forms. In this case, the two parts are closely connected, so writing them with a hyphen helps show that the meaning is one unit: transaction / exchange / dealings.
You may sometimes also see variation in writing style, but लेन-देन with a hyphen is very common.
