Tds is deductible under 94C @1% if contractor is individual/Huf and 2% in case other than individual/Huf.

u/s 194C of Income Tax Act 1961 said that any person responsible for paying any sum to any resident for carring out any work in pursuance of a contract, at the time of credit such sum to the account of th contract or at the time of payment by cash /cheque / any other mode, whichever is eariler, deduct an amount equal to - 1% in case of payment to Individual or HUF and 2% other than an individual or HUF

as explained above there is clear say if your credit such any amount we have to deducted TDS except reimbursement of expenses subject to proof of document like train and air ticket.
