In CIRCULAR NO. 4/2008, DATED 28-4-2008 2008 it is specificaly clear that tax deduction at source (TDS) under sections 194-I of Income-tax Act would be required to be made on the amount of rent paid/payable without including the service tax.
so this circular is not applicable for other section except 194I

We have to perhaps wait for merciful blessings of the CBDT in the form of Circulars for EACH AND EVERY Section governing TDS. We are not permitted to apply the logic or concept in a Circular relating to any Section not covered by the CBDT Circular.
CBDT expects all of us to apply our minds and take action by applying logic or concept to any matter, IF AND ONLY IF such action results in filling up the coffers.
