05 November 2009 Nil rate of TDS is applicable only for payment to a Transport operator( i.e. in the business of plying,hiring,leasing of goods carriage).

So in my opinion payment to booking agents will be subject to TDS @ 1 % or 2% as the case maybe.

05 November 2009 The nil rate benefit is applicable in the case of all transport contracts. If the nature of transaction between you and the booking agent is of tranportation contract then, in my opinion, you need not deduct tax if PAN is obtained
