No, it cannot be carried forward when a return is filed u/s 139(4). To claim this years loss return should have been filed u/s 139(3). Previous years assessed losses can be carried forward for this year.

it depends on the nature of loss which u hv nt mentioned in ur query..
if it is a capital loss or business loss den it cn nt be carried forward unless a return u/s 139(3) has been filed n loss from house property cn be carried forward even if u hv nt filed return u/s 139(3).

In terms of Section 80, the losses other than depreciation & house property loss can be carried forward only if determined in pursuance of the return filed within the time prescribed u/s. 139(1).

It is a belated return. Loss cannot be carry forward in Sec 139(4) except loss under head House Property.

RETURN OF LOSS [SECTION 139(3)]
(1) This section requires the assessee to file a return of loss in the same manner as in
the case of return of income within the time allowed under section 139(1).
(2) Under section 80, an assessee cannot carry forward or set off his loss against
income in the same or subsequent year unless he has filed a return of loss in accordance
with the provisions of section 139(3).
(3) A return of loss has to be filed by the assessee in his own interest and the nonreceipt
of a notice from the Assessing Officer requiring him to file the return cannot be a
valid excuse under any circumstances for the non-filing of such return.
(4) In particular, a return of loss must be filed by an assessee who has incurred a loss
under the heads “profits and gains from business or profession”, “capital gains”, and
income from the activity of owning and maintaining race horses taxable under the head
“Income from other sources”.
(5) However, loss under the head “Income from house property” under section 71B and
unabsorbed depreciation under section 32 can be carried forward for set-off even though
return of loss has not been filed before the due date.
