- Claim Tax Refund: If you have a refund due from the Income Tax Department, then your filed ITR will help you claim the refund.
- Income & Address Proof: Income Tax returns can be used as proof of your income & address.
- Carry Forwarding of Losses: If you submit the ITR within the due date, you can roll over the losses to subsequent years, which can be used to offset the following year's income.
