### Filing a Return for A.Y. 2008-09:
1. **Time Limit for Filing Returns:**
- The usual time limit to file a return for a past year is six years from the end of the assessment year. For A.Y. 2008-09, the time limit to file the return would have been until March 31, 2015 (6 years from the end of the assessment year).
2. **Belated Returns:**
- Typically, you cannot file a belated return beyond the prescribed time limit unless special circumstances apply.
3. **Claiming TDS Refund:**
- If you have TDS that was deducted and not claimed, you usually need to file the return within the allowable time frame to claim a refund. For A.Y. 2008-09, it would be highly unlikely that you could claim a refund at this stage unless there is a provision for extending the time limit.
4. **Revised Returns:**
- If you filed a return earlier and need to revise it, the time limit is also generally 6 years from the end of the assessment year. This would be applicable for A.Y. 2008-09 only up until March 31, 2015.
### What Can You Do Now?
1. **Check with the Tax Authorities:**
- For exceptional cases or if you have a valid reason, you may check with the Income Tax Department for any possible recourse. However, standard provisions usually don’t allow filing beyond the prescribed time limits.
2. **Legal Recourse:**
- In rare situations, if there is a significant issue that warrants revisiting, seeking legal advice or approaching the tax authorities through a formal request might be an option. But, this is exceptional and not the norm.
3. **Document Retention:**
- Keep all documents related to TDS and other relevant details for future reference and any potential inquiries.
### Summary:
- **Filing a return for A.Y. 2008-09 is generally not possible now** due to the lapse of the time limit.
- **Claiming a refund** for TDS from that period is typically not feasible under regular circumstances.
If there is a specific circumstance or a unique situation, consulting with a tax professional or contacting the Income Tax Department directly for guidance is advisable.
