Reason for condonation of delay in return filing

My client had no clue about filing of return and claiming refund, as tax was deducted regularly from income. hence no return was filed due to unawareness and uninformed. Later came to know about claiming refund through filing return. Can i write this reason as my valid reason for non filing of return. (this is the real reason).

What  is  F. Y  and A.Y  you are  filing  return ?. 

For FY 2018-2019, you do not need any Condonation. You can regularly file with applicable late fee under 234F and claim refund of TDS deducted as per Form 26AS

For earlier years you have to apply for Condonation of delay under 119(2)(b) to jurisdictional CIT with this reason and after approval file returns.
No this is for FY 2017-18. have to file condonation. i have prepared the letter. but the above given is the stated reason. so i wpuld like to know the validity of the reason

Only  in case  of   Refund  &  carry  forward loos and   set off   thereof  ,  you can  apply  for   condonation  of  delay  to CIT  and after  approval  you can file  return .
