We have raised a part bill no. XIV for Rs. 50 lakhs for works done in Kerala. Date of bill no. XIV is in Feb. 2008 and WCT is 4% then. CLient released 31 lakhs in March 2008 deducting 4% WCT at source. Balance 19 lakhs was released in April 2008, again deducting 4% WCT at source. Actual rate was revised by Govt.to 8% in April 2008. Now, in July 2009, CLient is preparing final bill, and says they are going to deduct WCT @ 8% on the entire 50 lakhs.

Are they correct in applying 8% on entire 5o lakhs? Or should it be applied only on 19 lakhs? Or should they deduct only4% for entire 50 lakhs? What is the correct date for determining applicable rate of WCT?
