I know of no easier way than the following combinations:

has/have + past participle of verb: Present Perfect
had + past participle of verb: Past Perfect
will have + past participle of verbal: Future Perfect

I would be surprised is anything easier than these rules exists. I would be curious to see if there is a way.

I get confused with these three basically present perfect and past perfect any tips to identify other than the basic has+ past participle Or similar stuffs
Yes, there are some techniques:

PRESENT PERFECT:

1. The action has started in the past and continues to present.

Example: The law has allowed the driver to drive with a high speed. --It was allowed in the past, and it still exists.

2. The action has occurred in the past, but its result remains int present.

It has rained. -----------------what is the result? ----The soil is still wet.

It rained. ----------------Why?---------------the soil is not wet. ---past action.........no result exists.

PAST PERFECT:

1. There will be two actions in the past. One of them happened earlier than other.

Action that happened earlier-------------past perfect...............More past.
Action that happened later..................past simple...............simple past.

Mind it there were two actions.

Example:

The train left the station after I had reached. ---Reached first----> then the train left.

They had come to see me before I went for MBA. ---come first ---------went later.

2. By + year + past perfect:

By 1990---------means there are some other activities before 1990.

So, by 1990 they had done the work.

--> It means that the work was started some times before 1990, and it had been completed within 1990.

Future Perfect:

--> There will be two actions in future. One of them will be performed earlier than the other.

The action that will be performed earlier will be in future perfect tense, and the action that will be performed later will be in simple future tense or present indefinite.

Example:
subject + shall or will have + past participle of verb = "I shall have gone to the store by the time you come."

HTH.
