| Dear Rahul,
In the instant case, you can get the credit of service tax paid on the airfare i.e. tickets, if the same were booked for business purposes and not for personal purposes in the light of commercial expediency principle laid down by the Apex court in the case of J K Cotton after the amendments made in the definition of Input services w.e.f. 1.4.2011. Further, TDS u/s 194H is required to be deducted on the commission portion in light of the Letter F. No. 275/70/2009-IT(B), dated 22-12-2009 (http://www.incometaxindiapr.gov.in/incometaxindiacr/contents/DTL2011/cirsec194h.htm). Further, you can also refer circular no 713 dated 2.8.1995 and circular no. 715 dated 8.8.1995.
Hope the above suffice.
