I am working with Encore Events Private Ltd,they have been purchasing their air tickets through Chiya Tours and Travel P ltd and had not deducted any TDS till the end of March 2011. But suddenly their CA during internal audit has raised a query that TDS should be deducted on air tickets from Chiya,whereas Chiya is not ready for TDS being deducted on their bills.
I want a clarification on the above subject stating whether TDS to be deducted or not.
