Good morning Subhra,
This does not seem to make sense?
For a payment that is less than the channel funds on your side, only that amount is locked behind an HTLC, and the rest remains useable for other HTLCs.
What exactly are you referring to?

> Hi,
> I was wondering when parties apply condition on fraction of channel fund for ensuring successful payment, entire channel fund is held. Is it possible to lock just partial amount of fund of a payment channel and leave the rest to be used by some another payment request ? Concept of subchannels of a single channel has been suggested in "Atomic multi-channel updates with constant collateral in bitcoin-compatible payment-channel networks" https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=40566801298747858&hl=en&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5 but I am still in doubt what happens during closing of subchannel ?
