The established DMC platforms are capable products, built for European, Australasian and Middle Eastern operators. Drop one into an Indian tour desk and GST, TCS, WhatsApp and rupee pricing become your problem to solve by hand, on every booking, forever.
Package billing, commission billing and pure-agent billing are taxed differently, and place of supply changes what you charge. The invoice engine is being built around those rules rather than a generic tax field.
Overseas tour package remittances attract TCS, and the rate depends on the amount and the nature of the remittance. Getting it wrong is expensive; getting it right by hand is slow.
Indian clients enquire, negotiate and confirm on WhatsApp. Software that assumes email as the primary channel adds a copy-paste step to every single interaction.
Inbound DMCs are paid in foreign currency; outbound agencies buy in it. Either way you need your own forex rate with a buffer, not whatever a global tool pulls from a public feed.
UPI for advances, bank transfer for balances, cards for corporates and NRIs. Payment links that work on an Indian phone at 11pm.
Most Indian agencies do at least two of the three. The rules differ across all of them, and running two tools to cover it is how margin goes missing.
Your inbound enquiries come from France, Germany, Japan and the Gulf. AI writes the same proposal in their language without you hiring a translator per market.
Subscription billed in INR with a GST invoice you can claim. Data hosted in India. No surprise dollar renewal when the rupee moves.
None of this makes those products bad. They were simply not built for a desk in Delhi, Kochi or Jaipur.

The MyDMC Pro column describes the product being built, not a shipped feature list. GST, TCS and payment modules are in the “coming soon” phase — see the features page for the current status of each.
Every state, every specialisation and every accountant has a quirk. If your billing, your forex handling or your supplier mix works differently from what is described here, that is exactly what we want to hear while the modules are still being built.
No card, no commitment, no trial clock running. We will only invite you in once the modules you actually need are ready.
