Difference between deductor and tax payer

This discussion clarifies the distinction between a 'deductor' and a 'taxpayer' when using the TDS Traces website. While both roles are related to tax, the website presents them as separate options for specific functions. The key takeaway is that you select 'taxpayer' for actions like generating certificates because, in that context, you are the one making the tax payment. The options exist to guide users through different stages of the tax process.
