They look similar but they have the followig difference.
1. Arrears of rent is the rent received during the previous year on account of increase in rent with restrospective effect whereas unrealised rent is the rent which the owner is not able to collect it from the tenant and was able to realise in the subsequent year.
2.Standard deduction is available to the arrears of rent and no deduction is available to unrealised rent.

DEDUCTION ALLOWED=RENT RCOVERED+DEDUCTION ALLOWED EARLIER -ACTUAL UNREALISED RENT
SEC 25AA:RECOVERY OF unrealised in rent relation to previous year 2002-03 AND AFTER THAT...

Thanks
This indicates that Sec25A is almost inoperative unless and untill the unrealised rent relates to PY 2002-03 or before
