I am giving you the related section. If the Pension is of the nature given below then it is exempted or other wise you can claim 89(1) relief. If it is for the C. A. final examination then this is applicable or otherwise why you want to include this in previous years. The only reason could be the present salary is higher. Other wise offer for tax purpose only when it is received.
(10A) Any payment in commutation of pension received under the Civil Pensions (Commutation) Rules of the Central Government or under any similar scheme applicable [to the members of the civil services of the Union or holders of posts connected with defence or of civil posts under the Union (such members or holders being persons not governed by the said Rules) or to the members of the all-India services or to the members of the defence services or to the members of the civil services of a State or holders of civil posts under a State or to the employees of a local authority] or a corporation established by a Central, State or Provincial Act ;

First you calculate the details of the arrear year wise. Next income by recalculate the income by adding the arrear to the original income. Next Calculate the tax on the current income including arrear. If the total tax is greater than the total tax of all the year after taking the arrears in the respective years then only go for 89(1) relief otherwise file in regular course of income
Take each year say 1.4.1999 to 31.3.200 Total Salary Perquisites and Pension if any = Add: Arrear of pension pertaining to 1.4.1999 to = Total of Both Tax on the net taxable income
Like this for all the years.
It requires much labour but the relief can be given to the client.

Then this is commuted pension. If not then Pension from August, 1995 to 31.3.1996 =..... Arrear Pension fromAugust, 1995 to 31.3.1996 =..... Total Pension original+arrear =.... This the taxable income Tax payable = Less: Tax Deducted at source = Difference Tax Payable = (This is to be added as tax Payable with the current year's tax) If no tax payable then tax payable for current year shall not be increased or deducted from TDS if any
