17 December 2018 No, he can't since return not filed for 2015-16 and 2016-17.

17 December 2018 not sure if that is true. The only requirement for carry forward of loss is to file the loss return in time. Those losses do not extinguish if the subsequent returns are not filed. Would love to see what others opine on this.
