if there is contract made with professional for services den such services fall u/s 194J and tds to be deducted @ 10%
and tds is deducted at the time of advance payment or credit in account whichever is earlier,
if you are providing advance payment of professional fee including audit expenses incurred by profesional then also you shall deduct tds on such payment because, tds is not deducted on reimbursement bill only when professional provide seperate bill for reimbursement of expenses.
if you are providing advance payment for audit expenses only , to be meet by professional then there is no need to deduct tax , but make sure that you will get seperate bill for such advance payment by professional.
hope your doubt is cleared now.
