I would be very thankful to you if you can kindly provide me a correct conclusive answer for this issue.

13 December 2012 Dear Natarajan,

CBDT has clarified this issue in Circular no 275/73/2007IT dated 30.06.2008. Accordingly, TDS is required to be deducted on whole amount including Service Tax Portion.

These is only one exception to this rule which is TDS u/s 194I (TDS on Rent). Under 194I, TDS is to be deducted on Rent Portion only.

Hope this will suffice your purpose.

14 December 2012 Agreed with Mr. Thakkar.
On a careful study of Sec 194J you will observe that. The words used are " Any Sum paid...." Therefore Tax should be deducted on any sum paid to receiver.

SImilary in section 194I the words used are " Any Income by way of rent..." and service tax is not an Income thus in sec 194 I we do not include service tax for tds.

hope it is clear.
