21 February 2013 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.

Hence it is not possible to file return of Income for the AY 2008-09

21 February 2013 As I have mentioned elsewhere, if you are willing to file the tax return for any year for which 139(4) limit has expired, you should explore the possibility of asking your AO to issue 142(1) or 148 notice.

On receipt of the said notice, you can file your return as a response.
