you need to deduct tds only on Rs 50000. For this you need to refer to CBDT circular 1/2014 which provides that TDS need not be deducted on service tax amount if it has been separately mentioned. given that in reverse charge mechanism the lawyer only mention amount payable to him, you need not deduct TDS on service tax portion.
