One of my client Rohan Kumar has filed return belated return u/s 139 (4) as at below dates-
AY 2012- 13 return filed as at 22.03.14 AY 2013- 14 return filed as at 29.03.14
Refund due- AY 2012- 13- > Rs. 1790 Refund due- AY 2013- 14- > Rs. 2190
But after filing return for respective Assessment Year, he did not sent the acknowledgement copy at Bangalore within 120 days hence return was not processed and also refund was not determined.
I have following issues regarding this-
1) Since 2 Year has expired for filing of return for AY 2012- 13 after filing of belated return, what is alternate for claiming refund for AY 2012- 13?
2) Can we revise return for AY 2013- 14 to claim refund??

Supreme Court has also decided this fact in the case of Jagdish Chandra Sinh Vs CIT (1996) that a belated return filed u/s 139(4) cannot be revised as section 139(5) provides that only Return filed under section 139(1) or in pursuance to a notice under section 142(1) can be revised.
then is there any remedy to get refund for the respective assessment years??

But original return was filed already and was not processed. Excel utility is not allowing to file original belated return as same was already filed. Can it be filed manually??
