As per Circular No.4/2008 dated 28.4.2008, it was clarified that TDS on rental payments would be required to be made only on the basic rental amount without including service tax. In other words, TDS should not be made on the service tax portion of the rent. However, this analogy is not applicable to TDS under other sections.
In short-- For 194I - Deduct TDS on amount excluding service tax. For other section - Deduct TDS on amount including service tax.
Logic: Logic is that TDS should be on income and service tax is not income. But then the same rule should be foolowed for all sections i.e., for all section TDS should be deducted on amount excluding service tax which is not the case. Strange but fact.

I ALREADY REPLIED----TDS is like advance tax it should be on income and service tax is not part of income. Therefore TDS not deductible on service tax portion.
