06 January 2013 Dear Pramod,

Legally you if you are Body Corporate then you are liable to pay 75% direct to the Govt. vide GAR-7 Challan.
The Department can again demand 75% tax from you even if you have paid to the Prop. Firm providing the Services.
Better to issue Debit Note to Agency and pay the tax for which you are liable.
Statutory Liability can not be transferred to other person.

Thanks
