There may be two situation:
Situation A - None of the company staff falls in "assessee liable to pay tax" bracket (i.e. Annual Salary is less than or equal to 200000 of each staff)
You can transfer the salary expense from one account to other.
Situation AB - Some/ All of the company staff falls in "assessee liable to pay tax" bracket (i.e. Annual Salary is more than 200000 of each staff)
From M/s A pvt ltd, you are paying Mr. X 20000 per month. At the end of the financial year, you will have to deduct TDS under Sec 192 (you may deduct earlier as well) and u deduct (240000-200000)*.1 = Rs. 4000 and paid 16000 in the month of march.
In that case, along with salary expense, you will have to transfer your TDS liabilty also to M/s B private LImited and this TDS cannot be paid from "A Pvt Ltd" account.
However, apart from this TDS, there is no other TDS issue will arise in case of reimbursement of expenses by M/s B Pvt Ltd.
I hope, i have cleared your doubt.
