What if you are based here and don’t have plans to travel out of the kingdom, then what to enter in the departure section for the new digital arrival card ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When filling out the digital arrival card for Thailand, if you do not have plans to travel outside the kingdom, you can leave the departure section blank; it is not mandatory. However, be prepared to explain to immigration the reason for not having a return ticket, as this may risk denial of entry.
