when there is a conflict of TDS, it is always better you deduct TDS at higher of the rate, to be safe on your part, and if it is excess deduction let them claim it from the department while filing the returns.. thats my view

Always think of the assumption that the contract is the meeting of the minds between parties. You can stipulate what is agreed upon. But in particular case like a interior design contract, it is a well settled rule to deduct the TDS at reasonable amount. With regards to case law, visit scribd.com for more information.
