Why the OTA payout is lower than the booking amount
When a guest pays ₹11,200 on an online travel agency, your bank does not receive ₹11,200. The OTA keeps its commission, charges 18% GST on that commission, and is required by law to deduct two taxes before paying you: GST TCS and income-tax TDS. Some OTAs also deduct a payment gateway or collection fee on prepaid bookings. This free calculator shows each deduction line by line so you can match it with your OTA statement.
The deductions explained
- Commission — usually 15% to 25% in India, charged on the room value before GST. Check your contract.
- GST on commission — 18%, charged by the OTA on its service. Hotels in the 18% room slab can normally claim this as input tax credit; hotels in the 5% slab (no ITC) cannot.
- GST TCS — tax collected at source under section 52 of the CGST Act, 0.5% of the net taxable value from 10 July 2024 (earlier 1%). It appears in your GST portal and can be used to pay GST.
- TDS under section 194-O — 0.1% from 1 October 2024 (earlier 1%). It shows in Form 26AS and is adjusted in your income-tax return.
Worked example
A guest pays ₹11,200 for a room in the 5% slab. Room value before GST is ₹10,666.67 and GST is ₹533.33. Commission at 18% is ₹1,920.00, GST on it ₹345.60, TCS ₹53.33 and TDS ₹10.67. The net payout is ₹8,870.40. You still owe ₹533.33 GST to the government, but you get credit for the TCS and TDS, so your real room income is ₹8,401.07.

Frequently asked questions
What is the TCS rate on OTA bookings in India?
GST TCS under section 52 is 0.5% of the net taxable value of supplies made through an e-commerce operator, effective from 10 July 2024. Earlier it was 1%. The hotel can use this credit to pay its GST.
What is the TDS rate under section 194-O for hotels?
TDS under section 194-O is 0.1% from 1 October 2024, down from 1%. It is deducted by the OTA on the gross amount and shows in your Form 26AS for adjustment in your income-tax return.
Can I claim ITC on GST charged on OTA commission?
If your room tariff is above 7,500 rupees per night and you charge 18% GST with ITC, you can usually claim it. In the 5% slab without ITC you cannot. Confirm with your CA.
