if 1.55 Lacs is seprately shown in Professional Bill As Serivice Tax Amount and he have service tax number which is printed on Bill then Deduct TDS on 11.35 or else on 12.90 Lacs

TDS should be deducted only on professional fees and not on service tax.

As per Circular No. 1/2014 dated 13th Jan 2014 

TDS is to be deducted on the amount exclusive of service tax if the service tax amount is shown separately. As in most of the cases, Service Tax Amount is disclosed separately in the Invoice, TDS in all such cases would be deducted on the amount exclusive of service tax.

However, in case the Service Tax amount is not disclosed separately in the invoice (rare case), TDS in such cases would be deducted on the total amount i.e. the amount inclusive of Service Tax.

Totally agreed with Vishal Ji

Professional income comes under section 194J. So whatever Income you have you should fill sno 56 No books of account of P & L account showing Gross income As Total Income without TDS,Net Income also total Income ,expenses as how much you can and lastly net profit. On this income calculate the TAX
Deduct Tds on Rs. 11.35 lakh if service tax is shown sepretly otherwise on full amount ..
You have written, that you have received money from your employer but S. Tax is not applicable on services provided by an employee to its employer. Am I missing something here? Yes, tds would be deducted on amount exclusive of service tax provided such amount is sperately mentioned in bill.
