Hi Gagan, The ejector throws the empty cartridge case clear of the breech, and unless you are fast enough to catch it, it will fall to the ground. Extractors just extract the shell a little, so you can finish removing them with your fingers. In extractor shotguns the extractor does all the lifting of the shotgun shell. When the gun is opened, it is using the mechanical advantage of the barrels hinging open to raise the extractors, and bring the shell just high enough for you to be able to remove it manually.
Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Gagan and welcome to the Buds Community. Ejectors pop the shells completely out of the chamber when the action is opened. Extractors partially pushes the shell out enough for you to grab and pull out of the chamber. Ejectors are faster of course. Cheers and stay safe!
