11 November 2017 Off course yes. You will have to pay the interest for delay of filing the returns.

11 November 2017 if the return is not filed as per section 139(1) of The Income Act then the tax payer can file the return within 1 year from the end of assessment year. But please note that, the return filed after the due date i.e. 31st July or 30th September is considered as Late Return of section 139(4). So You can file your late return for the AY 2016-17 till to 31/03/2018.
