Main Object Clauses
- To carry on the business of travel agents, tour operators, travel planners and ticketing agents, and to organise domestic and international tours, holiday packages, corporate travel programmes and pilgrimage tours.
- To provide hotel booking, transport booking, visa assistance, travel insurance facilitation and foreign exchange advisory services incidental to the travel business.

- To develop and operate online travel portals, booking engines and travel aggregation platforms.
NIC Code: 79 — Travel agency, tour operator, reservation service and related activities
Related Licences & Registrations
- IATA accreditation: needed only if issuing international airline tickets directly — most startups use consolidators instead.
- State tourism department registration: for recognition as an approved tour operator.
- FSSAI licence and state excise (bar) licence: for the hospitality arm, if serving food or liquor — per property.
ROC Filing Notes
- ‘Visa assistance’ is safe MOA language — the company facilitates applications; it does not issue visas. The wording matters if MCA reads it closely.
- Hotels and travel can coexist in one MOA, but liquor service needs a state excise licence per property — the MOA cannot cover that.
- Foreign exchange dealing needs an RBI authorised-dealer licence — ‘advisory’ is the safe word in the objects.
