08 August 2011 Hi Mr. Manikandan. I will try to explain you the diff bw two in very brief.

TDS is Tax deducted at source. here the person deduct some part of income as tax of the other party while making the payment to the latter one. For eg. while making payment to CA TDS is deducted, similary while making payment of a Contractor. There are some limits and rates for deducting TDS.

TCS is tax collected at source. its the amount collected by the seller of certain products (Timber, Scrap etc) from the buyer in addition to the sales receipts. here also TCS is collected on the basis of some limits and rates defined.
