Section 195 of the Act casts an obligation on a resident tax payer making payment to a non resident in respect of an income taxable in India to withhold tax at the rates applicable. The tax is not required to be deducted from the payments made outside India to a NR if the income of NR is not taxable in India. The income of the NR is taxable in India if it satisfies certain conditions.
As per section 5 the income of NR should have been either be received or deemed to be received in India or should be accrue or deemed to accrue in India for such income to be taxable in India. IN the present query the reimbursement may have an element of profit unless the reimbursements are fully supported by the actual bills / tickets etc. In case the reimbursement is not supported by the actual bills / tickets you need to deduct TDS on this.
