Hello @Ketan Pandey 

 

If it's mandatory and can not be avoided I think the best approach it's to create a custom table for this (not inherit from Task) and then create fields needed on this new table, and link with incident. With this you will be able to show a related list with fields involved, or show a reference field into incident form. 
However, I'll try to review if this fields are necessary (at least the most of them) and bring business outcomes to the process

I bet one of the reason for migration was that Remedy had 253 field on the incident table.
The question is: do you want to start with SN repeating the mistakes made in Remedy?
I would take the time, normalize the data and place all "extra information" (fields in Remedy that have no correspondent in SN) into variables, or as @Adrian Ubeda suggested, into a new related table.
