- Paid monthly for as long as the client remains active.
- Earn 7% - 12% commission per booking.
- Applies to B2C curated travel sales.

2. Payout Schedule & Thresholds
Commissions are calculated on a standard Net-30 cycle to account for potential refunds and chargebacks.
- Payout Day: Funds that have cleared the Net-30 holding period are disbursed weekly, every Friday.
- Minimum Threshold: You must accrue a minimum of ₹1,000 INR in cleared earnings for a payout to be initiated. Balances below this threshold will roll over to the following week.
3. Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) Compliance
In compliance with the Income Tax Act of India, CabPlanner is required to deduct Tax at Source (TDS) on creator commissions under Section 194H (Commission or Brokerage).
- ✅ With Valid PAN: TDS will be deducted at the standard rate of 5%.
- ❌ Without PAN / Invalid PAN: As per Section 206AA, TDS will be deducted at the higher penal rate of 20%.
- CabPlanner will issue quarterly Form 16A certificates reflecting the TDS deducted against your PAN, which you can claim during your Income Tax Return (ITR) filing.
4. Dormant Accounts
If an account fails to generate any new clicks or sales for a continuous period of 12 months, and holds an unpaid balance below the ₹1,000 threshold, the account may be classified as dormant. For dormant accounts, CabPlanner reserves the right to charge a nominal monthly maintenance fee against the remaining balance until it reaches zero, after which the account will be closed.
