As per CBDT circular no 715 Dated 08.08.1995 ... The payments made to a travel agent or an airline for purchase of a ticket for travel would not be subjected to tax deduction at source as the privity of the contract is between the individual passenger and the airline/travel agent, notwithstanding the fact that the payment is made by an entity mentioned in section 194C(1). Hence the No tax should be deducted u/s 194C on payment made to travel agent/airline for booking of tickets.
