You have to let us know the contract details and billing procedure to answer your query. For example for air travels, the Travel agent collects only th cost of ticket and the commission is paid by the Airlines. You have to therefore clearly say what is the relation ship between you and your travel agent.
If a formal contract / agreement has been entered with the travel agent, then TDS u/s 194C shall be levied. The TDS rates shall be 2.06% or 2.266% (payment exceeding Rs.1 crore)
