You may file ITR now with interest and penalty as applicable. Normally ITR for refund must be filled within one year from the end of the AY. You should have gone with the below steps initially
Step 1: You must revise your return addressing the defects the Income Tax Department has pointed out within a period of 15 days from the receipt of intimation order under Section 139(9).
Step 2: You can seek an extension by writing to your local Assessing Officer if you fail to revise your income tax return within 15 days.
Practically, it is seen that even taxpayer rectifies the defect after the expiry of fifteen days but before the assessment is made, the Assessing Officer may condone the delay and treat the return as a valid return.
