01 February 2009 It depends on how you treat the expenses.

If your comany is having memorandum of understanding or tie up with any hospita to treat the employees then tds will be applied and tds has to be deducted.

In case of emergeny the company is paying and recovering the same from the salary of the employee then tds is not applicable.

If both are not there and the company is paying case to case basis if professional fees excluding other charges exceeds 20000 and bill is in the name of the company then you have to deduct tds.
