Hi Sudhakar ,

Method with future annotation(@future) is know as future method .

Key points for future annotation .

  1.Method which annoted with @Future annotation is called Future method .
  2.Future method  must be static , and can only return a void type.
  3.Parameters must be primitive data types, arrays of primitive data types, or collections of primitive data types but not sobject .
  4.You can not call a future method from other future method .
  5.Method like getContent and getContentAsPDFPageReference  
  6.Future method cannot call  methods  like getContent and getContentAsPDFPageReference .
  7.Future method will not execute with the oreder you called it may very based on the availability of resource .

Example ,One execution context you can not do the DML for both Setup and nonSet up context So to avoid that you need to use future annotation .
To know about that you can check the below link which has one example as well .
