corruption by doing so.

.

It is not advisable to try for AY 2009-10.
.
Advise your friend to file the 2 returns of AY 2010-11 and 2011-12 so that the TDS if any deducted can be claimed as refund.

21 July 2025 For AY 2009-10, if your friend did not file the return before the due date and the online system is blocking the return due to the deadline, here’s what can be done regarding the TDS refund without filing the return for that year:

How to claim TDS refund without filing return for AY 2009-10?
Normally, filing an income tax return is mandatory to claim a refund of TDS.

Without filing the return, the refund claim cannot be processed.

Possible options:
File a belated return for AY 2009-10:

Under Section 139(4), belated return can be filed any time before completion of assessment or 1 year from end of relevant AY, whichever is earlier.

Since AY 2009-10 is long past, this window may be closed.

However, check if the department still accepts belated returns physically or via CPC.

Approach the Assessing Officer (AO):

Your friend can approach the local AO, explain the situation, and submit a manual return with an application for refund.

The AO can process the refund if all documentation is proper.

If manual filing is being insisted on by the clerk with payment:

Avoid paying any unofficial charges.

File the return yourself or consult a tax professional for help with manual submission.

For subsequent years (AY 2010-11 and onward):

File returns timely to claim TDS refunds properly.

Summary:
To claim TDS refund for AY 2009-10, your friend must file a return for that year.

If the online portal does not allow, manual filing through AO is the alternative.

Do not pay bribes or unofficial fees.

For detailed help, consult a CA or tax expert who can assist with manual filing in your jurisdiction.
