An ITR for 3 years cannot be filed in normal case without penalty. Only ITR for the financial year 2017-18 (Assessment Year 2018-19) can be filed upto 31st March 2018 with penalty. For older ITR can only be filed u/s 148 if any notice by ITO is issued to file the same. No penalty is required to pay. In normal case being belated return older ITR could not be filed.
