read the concerned amendment act only, generally it contains the clause regarding this purpose.

if u need a detailed view point then read some book on interpretation of statute.

It is specified while passing the specific act or amendment.

The Amendment Act itself makes it clear whether it will have retrospective or prospective effect. Even certain provisions of the same Amendment may be retrospective whereas the rest may be prospective.
