14 January 2013 Actually, assessee is procuring milk form his own live stock, then he would be consider as trader or manufacturer?

02 August 2025 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.
