Hi Ashish,
You can have special permissions for individual lists or libraries (or folders within a library) what you have to do is to go
to the manage permissions list or document library for the appropriate item or folder and stop inheriting permissions from Parent and then you can add any sorts of permissions you want uniquely to that item or folder.
Check for further reference.

you have to break the inheriting permission of document library and assign the permission you want again you have to set the same for folder
level.

While you probably won't come across this in your case, be careful when breaking security permission inheritance on the items in a a document
library or list. There are big performance hits. If you have inherited permissions on a library or list SharePoint only has to do one permissions check for all the contents. If you have unique permissions SharePoint has to check every document's permissions
before returning the contents of the library.  This tends to become an issue when you have thousands of items, rather than
hundreds.
