10 February 2011 generally the payment called as brokerage. Brokerage paid to ticket agent is considered as contract fees paid to agent. This will be treated as contract fees u/s 194C, only brokerage due/paid will be considered for defining the limits specified by sec194C.

Limits are 35K per single transaction or 75K in a year.
