no we can not deduct tds untill and unless his commission is Rs.20000/=. after that we can deduct tax as per rate applicable.On the amount of fare , as it is reimbursement, we cant not deduct tax.

when an airlines ticket is booked either through travel agent or from direct airlines, it is not subject to any tds liability for the payment as there is contract between indivisual passenger and airlines itself.It doesn't matter who has booked or paid. However when whole airlines may be reserved than it will subject to TDS U/S 194C like goods transport.

The Circular 715 suggests that privity of the contract is between the individual passanger and not the payor and airlines. Nowif the individual passanger himself is the proprietor of the business paying for travel by air, what happens? The individual is the person paying and the privity of the contract is between the individual and the airlines. Should TDS be deducted from airlines. I do not think they will allow it and individual will land up paying higher travel costs if it is for business. However, if individual sends his employee by air then he will not have to deduct the TDS from the airlines. Therefore if you are a proprietor, just be employed by another proprietor and you employ the other proprietorin your own proprietorship. When you wish to travel you travel for his poprietorship and vice versa. Then no TDS will be applicable.
