Dear Sir, While filing ITR4S for an assessee who is engaged in dairy farming, I should fill trade code -202 of retailors or I should fill code of manufaturer.

If the assessee is **procuring milk from his own livestock** (meaning he is producing the milk himself), then he is considered a **manufacturer** rather than a retailer/trader.
### Explanation:
* **Trader/Retailer**: Buys milk from others and sells it. * **Manufacturer**: Produces milk from his own livestock (own production).
Therefore, when filing ITR-4S:
* Use the **trade code for manufacturer** (which generally corresponds to manufacturing activities like dairy farming). * Do **not** use trade code 202 (retailers) in this case.
