Thanks @ Samantha and @ Saurwv I appreciate your response. I would like to let you know that I have no other income and after exemption under 10 and 17 Standard deduction under Section 16 (I) and Professional tax My total income is 384,314. Since Its below 5L and therefore my tmTqx liability is NILL, why should I file ITR? ITR is to claim refund of tax if I have any tax saving Life insurance, house loan, Tution fee etc right? I do not have any such expenses and even if I do have I don't have anything to claim by filing an ITR because there's no tax getting deducted as Net salary is below 5L. In addition to that the above exemption which I was able to see was from income tax computation statement from my employer. Plus I would also like to know what are this Standard deduction?
