Individuals are required to file an ITR if their annual income exceeds the basic exemption limit according to the erstwhile Income Tax Act, 1961, now Income Tax Act, 2025. However, certain conditions obligate you to file an ITR even if your income is below the basic exemption limit.

Here are the conditions that require filing an ITR:

1. Bank deposits of more than ₹50 lakh in a single account or combined across all accounts in a financial year.

2. Current account deposits (in one account or across all accounts) exceeding ₹1 crore in a financial year.

What are the benefits of filing an ITR?

Apart from compliance, there are multiple benefits to filing an ITR:

1. ITR serves as proof of your income and address in various contexts. Banks and other financial institutions may require your ITR to determine your income when you apply for a loan or buy insurance.

2. If TDS has been deducted from your income — such as from fixed deposits, salary, or interest income — you must file an ITR to claim that refund.

3. When travelling abroad for work or other purposes, you may be required to submit your ITR to process your visa.

4. You can carry forward your losses from this year to offset future gains. To avail of this benefit, you must file an ITR.
