Dear Anup,

1. You are not liable to pay service tax. export of services is exempt from service tax. However, the same should be in accordance to Export of Service Rules, 2005.

2. TDS is not your look out. However, you were liable to pay advance tax.

3. Assuming that your tax status is resident, your global income is chargeable to tax in India. However, you may claim credit for taxes deducted by service recepient outside India.

I would be glad to help you further. You may contact me at +91-9699814106
