As per section 11B, the application for refund shall be submitted within one year from the relevant date.
But, in recent notification No.33/2008-ST, dated 07.12.2008, clarified that the period of time limit for claiming of refund from 60 days to 6 months and from the end of quarter for which claim pertains. and date will be calculated from the date of exports.

The six month limitation period(Not 33/2008) is applicable only in case of refund under Notification 41/2007-ST dated 06.10.2007 which prescribed provision for refund of certain input services attributable to export of goods, and not in case of 11B refund.
The only option for your client is to apply for rebate of input services/inputs under used in export of taxable services vide Not 12/2005 in future. For the past period rebate cannot be claimed because it has to be applied before the actual export of services.
