HI Ahmed,

 

You can file this year return irrespective of the fact that last return is not submitted.

Each year return filing is independent under income tax act. So this yer you can file even if last year return is missed out.

Thanks

Yes sir you surely can.

There is no such requirement that to file this year's return you need to file previous year's return.

Also if you were having some refund in previous year.

I can help you file them as well.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Yes, please file the current year tax return timely.  It is likely that you can get notice for non-filing of lat year return.  I would advise you to pay the tax of last year, if any, so that interest can be minimized.  You should also collect supporting documents which shows your hardship in filing return.
