Hi @gauravsh8790,

You could use an install script with something like this:

$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$entity = $installer->getEntityTypeId('customer');

$installer->addAttribute($entity, 'your_new_attribute', array(
        'type' => 'text',
        'label' => 'Your New Attribute',
        'input' => 'text',
        'visible' => true,
        'required' => false,
        'adminhtml_only' => 0
));

$forms = array(
    'customer_address_edit',
    'customer_register_address',
    'customer_account_create',
    'customer_account_edit',
    'checkout_register',
    'adminhtml_customer',
    'adminhtml_checkout',
    'adminhtml_customer_address'
);
$attribute = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getAttribute($entity, 'your_new_attribute');
$attribute->setData('used_in_forms', $forms);
$attribute->save();

$installer->endSetup();

Make a backup before execute the install script.
