Certificate reuirement is waived from 2015 IMHO. Revision of earlier years will not be possible due to time limit and assessment being completed. You can tak to the CPC/AO to see if rectification will be allowed.

AY1415 return can be revised on or before 31 March 2016.

For previous years you may visit the ITO/Commissioner and file a condonation petition U/s.1192b for filing of revised return.
