advocate bill issued to our comapny professional fees Rs 15,000, Stamp duty35,000, other stationery exp Rs 5000 Total Rs 55,000, we are giving Cheque Rs 15,000 balance given in cash
all amount charged in one bill
how is accounted & what are the TDS Implication
Under Section 194J of the Act, TDS will be deducted on the Invoice Value ie on Rs. 55000/-. As the section says"Any sum paid/Credited". As per ITO vs Dr Villiam Schwabe India (P) Ltd. [2005] Tribunal held that Reimbursement of expenses for which sepearatly bill raised didi not attract the provision of section 194J. But in your case, the said judicial dicision is not applicable.
Please not that Rs. 40000/- paid by cash, the 20% of Rs. 40000/- is disallowed for Computing Income Tax liability of the Firm under section 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act.

As per my opinion, your contention is right but for this seperate bill requiered. but in this case, seperate bill is not raised.
for more clarification you may refer the judicial decesion for the reimbursement of expenses. Inthe said decision both section 194C and 194J are examine in the similar case and the decision are given.
in the said dicision the outcome is " if a accumulated bill is given by a professional/consultant for his fees as well as out of pocket expeases and or reimbursement of expenses, then the entire amount is subject to TDS. if a seperate bill is given for reimbursement of out of expenditure, the reimbursement of expenses is not subject to Tax Deduction."
Hope matter is now clarify.
