TDS is deductiable only if rooms are taken on regular basis. regular basis means rooms have been earmarked by company in a hotel and hotel is bound to provide those rooms as & when required by company. Rate contract with hotel for a specific type of rooms will not be construed as regular basis. So no need to deduct TDS in your case.
