2. Claiming Refunds: If you have paid more tax than your actual tax liability, you can claim a refund by filing ITR.

3. Financial Records: Filing ITR creates a financial record of your income, deductions, and tax paid, which can be used as proof of income for various purposes such as applying for a loan or visa.

4. Applying for Visas: Many foreign countries require ITR as proof of income for granting a visa.

5. Loan Approval: ITR is also required for loan approvals, and having a record of ITR filings can improve your chances of getting a loan approved.

6. Compliance: Filing ITR is mandatory if your total income exceeds the basic exemption limit, and failure to comply can result in legal consequences.

7. Carry Forward Losses: Filing ITR is also necessary to carry forward any losses incurred in a financial year to subsequent years for set off against future profits.

In summary, filing ITR is essential for avoiding penalties, claiming refunds, creating financial records, applying for visas and loans, compliance with tax laws, and carrying forward losses.
