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.

Concentrate on the WORDS used in the section. 194D, 194G, 194H and 194I use the words INCOME and hence TDS be deducted on NET amount (Exclusive of service tax) But 194C and 194J use the words SUM and hence deduct TDS on gross (Inclusive of service tax)
