I don't know what you both did finally, but I don't think ITR 7 applies to recognized provident funds. Actually provident funds are not required to file income tax return as their income is totally exempt under Section 10(25).
They normally file return only to claim refund of TDS wrongly deducted on interest. So in such cases you may file ITR5. Please refer http://taxguru.in/income-tax-case-laws/belated-filing-return-ground-denying-income-tax-refund.html
