Reason for condonation of delay in return filing

My client had no clue about filing of return and claiming refund, as tax was deducted regularly from income. hence no return was filed due to unawareness and uninformed. Later came to know about claiming refund through filing return. Can i write this reason as my valid reason for non filing of return. (this is the real reason).

For FY 2018-2019, you do not need any Condonation. You can regularly file with applicable late fee under 234F and claim refund of TDS deducted as per Form 26AS

For earlier years you have to apply for Condonation of delay under 119(2)(b) to jurisdictional CIT with this reason and after approval file returns.
