Section 139(4) provides that a return which has not been furnished by the due date may still be furnished as a belated return before the expiry of one year from the end of the assessment year or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. However, on any return of income that has not been filed by the end of the relevant assessment year, penalty of Rs.5000/- u/s 271F shall be levied.
so belated return can be furnished with in 1 year from the end of relevant assessment year.so you can file now return for ay 2011-12 as belated & ay-2012-13 as normal return
