Firstly you should check the treatment given for such payment 4 years ago. If the same in dr. to P&L account then you need to booked as income when received.
As you stated that company forgot to book this in accounts. That means this is may be paid in cash because chq. payment can be traced by bank statement & can be easily identified. It is better to offer this to income. If you take a chance of not booking this as income then ITO may take a stand for concealment of assets & liability in the year of payment & may need to pay the fine/penalty.
