Importance of ITR Filing:
Individuals will benefit from filing the ITR when applying for a vehicle loan (2-wheeler or 4-wheeler), a home loan, and so on. As proof of income statement, all major banks might request a copy of tax returns. This document is required for loan approval.
Even if your total taxable income is less than the basic exemption limit and you have no tax liability for the year, tax may have been deducted (TDS) from your earnings. You will have to claim TDS refund in this scenario, and you will be required to file an Income Tax Return.
If you failed to file income tax returns in accordance with the Income Tax Act, the tax officer has the authority to levy a fine of up to Rs.5,000.
If you file your return by the deadline, you will be eligible to carry over losses to future years, which you can use to offset future income. This means that you can reduce certain loss from the relevant income, lowering your future income tax bill. This is impossible to achieve without first filing a tax return.
