Yes, relief u/s. 89(1) can be claimed for the arrears, if returns of relevant years were filed. You need to file form 10E along with return.

sir pls tell me how to deal with it if returns were not filed in the relevant years.

No. Relief cannot be availed if relevant IT return not filed.

Better to save some money u/s. Sr. Ctz Acct or Bank FD eligible for 80C deduction.

If her taxable income is brought under 5 lakhs for FY 2019-20, there will not be any tax liability. Only return for AY 2020-21 will be required to be filed.
