TDS is actually a deduction while TCS is a collection of tax at source, meaning thereby, if X makes payment of100 to Y and such payment is covered under the provisions of TDS, then X will have to deduct TDS say10 and then will make payment of90 to Y. While, if X sells goods worth100 to Y and such goods are covered under the provisions of TCS, then X will collect10 more from Y and hence the sale will be for110. In both the cases10 will be deposited to govt. account.
