My opinion, your case TDS need to deduct total bill value. since the agent raised combined bills.
Incase reimbursement bills raised separately then only service charge liable to TDS

For **TDS on C\&F (Clearing & Forwarding) agent invoice**, here’s the general practice:
---
### What to Deduct TDS on?
* **TDS should be deducted only on the 'Fees of C\&F' part**, NOT on the total bill amount including reimbursements.
---
### Reasoning:
* Reimbursements are amounts paid on behalf of the company, like freight charges, octroi, or other expenses. These are **not income/fees for the C\&F agent**.
* TDS applies on **income/fees** earned by the agent for their services, which in your case is the "Fees of C\&F" (15% on total).
---
### Applicable Section and Rate:
* Usually, TDS on C\&F services is under **Section 194C (Contractor)** or sometimes **194J (Professional fees)** depending on nature of services.
* Rate is normally **1% or 2% under 194C** or **10% under 194J**. Confirm which section applies to your case.
---
### Summary:
| Component | TDS Deduction? |
| -------------------- | --------------------- |
| Reimbursements (1-3) | No |
| Fees of C\&F | Yes (TDS deducted) |
| Total Bill Amount | No (TDS only on fees) |
