You can file the returns physically with the Income Tax Department in the respective ward in which your client is assessed to.

You can file it online there is option available in section column, you need to select "return filed in response to notice u/s 142(1) of the Income Tax Act, but only upto A.Y. 12-13.

For A.Y. 11-12 you need to file it manually.

Since your client has been served a notice u/s 142(1), you now have an option to file return under in the heading (in the ITR) 'Return Filed'. There you would have to select '13' which signifies return filed in response to notice u/s 142(1). This can be done for 2 AY, i.e. upto AY 12-13. As CA Ravinder Grover has told you, you would have to file a mnual return for AY 11-12.

Otherwise you have an option to file manual return for all AYs. This can be done with the permission of the assessing officer. kindly check the jurisdictional assessing officer befor filing your application or return here https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e-Filing/Services/KnowYourJurisdictionLink.H T M L. Other way round, it would be quite evident on the notice itself which jurisdictional AO has sent you the notice.

But here no notice can be issued u/s 142(1) for ay 2011-12,2012-13 as any assessment under sec 143 would be time barred. So the notice received here would not contain any section and would be a general letter issued to so many people.

Yes, If you are filing out of time manual returns, you can do it only when AO allows for the same.

If filing returns within time, then manual retuns would be allowable only in exceptional cases.

If you are filing return in response to a notice received by the IT department, then there is no need to take permission of the AO while filing the return for any AY, whether manually or online.

But, if you are filing ITR for previous AYs at your own discretion, then manual returns are not allowed at all under the amended Income Tax Rules, hence AO cannot give permission to file ITR manually. For online, ITR cannot be filed for more than one previous AYs.
