The work of ticket booking, booking of hotel and others related to this travel was entrusted to a travel agency and they where given the above said amt. in installments. so the question here is whether TDS is attracted when payment is made to the travel agency and under what section if it attracts TDS

Service tax is applicable on the value of service charged by the travel agent. TDS is not applicable, subject to your clarifying that they do not charge any thing that attrcts sections 194H or 194J.
