H Sarvaksh,
This just protects the edge of the racket in case you hit it on the table during your strokes.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

If for example you scrub the edge of the rubber against the table at the end of a push, the edge tape can also help preventing the rubber to be lifted of the blade. It covers the side of the blade, but also some of the rubber, holding the whole thing together.
