Since he is residing in India 195 is not applicable. TDS to be made u/s 194H at 4.73%. You have to check the services provided to you covered for deduction at lower rate else 10% has to be deducted.

Who is responsible to deduct tax u/s 194H? Ans. Any person, (other than individual or a Hindu undivided family) who is responsible for paying, to a resident, any income by way of commission (not being insurance commission referred to in section 194D) or brokerage, shall, deduct income-tax thereon.

You said he is an agent that is why I suggested deduction u/s 194H. If you are paying the exhibition expenses then deduct TDS u/s 194C.

Ask him to prepare two bills one for agents commission in India for which TDS u/s 194H is applicable, if lower deduction applicable for this service deduct it. For the expenses to be incurred for exhibition out side India No TDS applicable as it is payment to non resident for services rendered outside India.
