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.

for rent - it was clear from circular 4/2008, is there any specific circular or notification saying tds on rest of the sections should be deducted inclusive of ST amount or it is a general rule??

Under section 194 C And 194 J, the words are used "any sum" which means any sum paid to contractor or a person covered under section 194 J. Hence, TDS u/s 194 C and 194 J includes service tax amount.
Whereas in section 194 D/H/I, the word used is "income rather than any sum" which means TDS to deducted on the income only and service tax is not the income. Hence TDS is deductible on the amount other than service tax

Actually, when the things are not absolute clear in the tax system, then interpretation plays the role, that's what all the expert are doing.
