08 June 2016 Return for F.Y.2015-16 i.e, A.Y.2016-17 can be filed up to 31.03.2018
.
.
But there is a chance that AO may start assessing his income in such case you should file income tax return before completion of assessment.

But i feel you can take time to file up to 31 july 2017 but try to file at the earliest
