I do not agree with the this proposition. In case if the reimbursement is being made against the actual bill then only the this proposition holds good. However from the language of the query it seems that the fixed charges are being paid for so called reimbursement of expenditure. Payment of a fixed charge for shall partake the character of rent in such case, accordingly a TDS @ 22.66% would be required to be deducted.
