It is mandatory to file the return of income only in case the income crosses the amount exempt from tax. Further your uncle can file his return for A Y 2009-10 upto 31.03.2011. He can be penalized u/s.271F, which is generally not done in case there are no taxes due/payable.

I THINK THE DUE DATE FOR FILING RETURN OF INCOME FOR THE A.Y.2009-10 IS 31-3-2010. IF HE FILES LATER THAN THIS DATE, HE CAN FILE THE SAME BUT MAY LIABLE FOR PENALTY U/S 271F.
