Liability to deduct TDS u/s 194 on rental comes if the amount paid to a person exceed to the thresold limit of Rs.1.8 Lacs in a year. The same is requird even if u pay rental to hotel. In your case you do not need so far to deduct TDS since the amount paid is nt exceeding the thresold limit.

In my opinion in the above case the TDS is required to be deduted @ 1 %, as in case of TDS on rent doesnot applies as hotel has not given nothing on rent to us, it was just an agreement to avail the facilities of the hotel which are also availed by other person TDS as per Section 194C @ 1 %
