As the usage is for the purpose of carring employee/ passenger you have to deduct under 194C. and

If the Travel Agency having PAN No. in the name of Individual the TDS rate is 1% ,

If it is a Company / Firm means the TDS rate is 2%, w.e.f.01.10.09.

Correct me if iam wrong.

Here is what u need 2 knw : 1). If pan is quoted by transporter contractor - No TDS. 2). If pan is not quoted by transporter - TDS @ 1% in case of Individual or 2% in case of any other entity Hence, in your case, No need to deduct any TDS bcz vendor already provided you pan no.

If the Transporter is Goods transporter and if quote their PAN No. the TDS rate is NIL. Otherwise, what i have mentioned will be applicable.

tds on transporters is nil if they provide PAN

transporters in respect of income tax and service tax refers to the plying, hiring and leasing of goods.

as the contract is for passengers, tds shall be deducted u/s 194C

TDS has to be deducted U/s 194 c ,as it is a contractual bill, as it is transport of passengers and not good. so TDS of 1% if individual and 2% for companies will be applicable.

In case of others if PAN is not Quoted TDS @ 20% is deductible but in case of Contractor TDS @ 1 or 2 % is deductible if PAN is not Quoted.Please explain whether this is correct or not.
