If your work oreder is silent about such arrangements, then this will be a seprate indepedent transaction beyond your contact. You will claim this rent paid as an expence deductible. Then TDS provisions of Sec. 194I will be applicable.

but sir as per client you are not paying any money for that we have recover from your bill so TDS is not applicable.
2nd rooms are within plant area so tds is not applicable it is just recovery

No Mr. Praveen, it is not the part of your contarct. And no matter how you make the payments TDS is deductible on payment or credit basis which ever is earlier. And you have to credit the clint accont for rent debiting the rent recoverd to claim the rent expences. You have to deduct and pay the TDS else you may loose the deduction for rent expences.

Yes. If vendor will charge you service tax on rent, you can get the credit and can set of against the service tax payable by you.
