Regarding Claiming Relief Under Section 89

Hi,

A person has arrears of 2 years in his this year's form 16.

The two arrears are for FY 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.

If he did not file his return last year, can he claim the amount mentioned in arrears for both Financial years under section 89?

Or can he claim tax relief u/s 89 for FY 2008-09 only?

Thanks!
