Itr for 2017-18 ay by legal heir of a deceased assessee

This query is : Resolved 

20 March 2019 A lady wants to file ITR for A/Y 2017-18 in respect of her late husband, who was an army officer. She expects a refund of tax that was already deducted for that year. She will need to apply to CIT for condonation of delay.
Her husband's ITR was filed in Pune as he was an army officer, but she resides in Delhi. So whom has she to apply - her jurisdiction being in Delhi, while her husband's ITR used to be filed in Pune
Can she apply on line through e-filing portal? Please provide a draft of letter or is there any specific form?
Thanks
