Hi Swati,
Sec. 139. says [(1) Every person,
(a) being a company 24[or a firm]; or
(b) being a person other than a company 24[or a firm], if his total income or the total income of any other person in respect of which he is assessable under this Act during the previous year exceeded the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax,
shall, on or before the due date, furnish a return of his income or the income of such other person during the previous year, in the prescribed form25 and verified in the prescribed manner and setting forth such other particulars as may be prescribed :
So the company must file the return,
Also the loss could be carried forward only if the return is filed within due date

Mr. Anand is 100% correct, but I want to add something .........
Unabsorbed Deprication & Loss under Income from house property can be claimed even if you have filled belated return.
Correct me if I m wrong..........................

Dear Swati...
In your case it is not Nil return it is Loss return...
Loss return should be filed within the due date to carry forward the loss but Unabsorbed depn and Income from HP can be CF even it is not filed within the due date i.e.it should also be filed to carry forward the loss...
