when u are acting as pure agency, u had to deduct the TDS on behalf of the paying company and instruct the company to issue TDS certificate in favor of receipent. 

as the original bills are raised in name of company itself, tds part is between the company and the actual receipent, so u had nothing to do but withold the tds portion and instruct the company to issue TDS certificate of the same.

If you do not claim the expenses in your P&L in context of the payment of reimbursement of expense, you do not required to deduct TDS.

However to claim the expenses by your client he need to ensure the relevant provision of IT has been complied.
