TDS on Booking Travel ticket and Hotel booking via Make My Trip

Respected Sir/Madam,

1. Our company books travel tickets and hotel stays through a corporate account with MakeMyTrip, which includes a separate line item for service charges on each invoice. Is TDS applicable on these service charges? If so, how can we manage this, as we are required to pay the full amount upfront via credit card?

2. Is TDS applicable on the hotel room rent ?
