25 November 2008 u can't file returns of all 4 years.
u can file return upto the end of one year from the assessment year.
non-filing of return attracts penalty of 5000 u/s 271 F.
however loss can't be carried forwrd if return is not filed on due date i.e 31st july/ 30 september (given in sec 139(1)).

25 November 2008 1) two years loss could not be carried forward since return is not filed on due date.
2) rest of the two years return filing is not mandatory since he has no taxable income.
3)Now he can file the returns of assessment years 2007-08 and 2008-09 if he so wish.
