Refund on basis of belated return

In my view it would be better to file a belated return and claim the TDS, rather than not filing the return at all and then attracting penalty at a later stage.

Obsious sir you can claim refund on the basis of return filling....irrespective of original return,belated return or revised return.

you can't denied to claim amount of refund merely on the basis of late filling of return.

file ITR and get Claim as early as possible

Yes, it is better to file and see. Even some of the Income Tax Softwares accept such belated returns with refunds.
