Hotel booking charges : NO TDS to be levied.
The reason being, Hotel charges is more like a stay during trip (irregular event) rather than a continuous staying under a contract, which attract TDS under section 194I.

one time or any unknowning conversation is not attract tds like hotel booking for just one time. as per expert says if company sending people or any exposure visit or any kind of celebration on that area and made a contract with that hotel then it is possible to deduct even on payment basis.
