CHA bills

There are two bills we received
from clearing & forwarding agent.

one is only their agency charged ,& second is reimbursement of various charges like as ocean freight , road freight , detention etc.

On first bill of agency charges we deduct tds u/s 194 C , but on second bill we never deduct TDs.

My question is, in second bill there are ocean freight , & freight bill invoice is in our name & amount is huge.The said amt. paid by clg . agent on behalf of us & after whole inv. amt.
we reimburse to agent.

In this case who is liable to pay the TDs on ocean freight or road freight
or this reimbursement charges is exempt from paying tds.

Quick Summary
This discussion concerns the correct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) treatment for bills received from a clearing and forwarding agent. The agent issues two types of bills: one for agency charges and another for reimbursed expenses like ocean freight and road freight. While TDS is deducted on agency charges, the query is whether TDS applies to the second bill, especially when invoices are in the company's name but paid by the agent. The user seeks clarification on liability and legal references regarding TDS on these reimbursement charges.

As per my view you should deduct TDS as invoices are issued on company name.
But sir , whole payment made by clg. agent how we can deduct..Is there any legal reference.
