12 October 2018 I had filed the returns for the AY 2016-17 and AY 2017-18 u/s 139(4). I got a notice from the IT department that the return is defective. However due to non-rectification of the defects within 15 days the return is treated as invalid. Is there any option to file the return for that particular assessment years and claim the TDS refund. If yes, under which section and what would be the time limit?

Please provide a remedy

12 October 2018 As of now the said return filing is barred by time. But if you could get a condonation of delay order u/s 119(2)(b) from the Commissioner of Income tax, the said return
can be filed to seek refund.
