If it is agreement to sell it will not come under the purview of transfer u/s 2(47) since the sale may or may not materialize. but if sale deed is executed then capital gain will be taxable in the year in which it is executed since it amount to transfer u/s 2(47). if that is the case, year of reciept of consideration is not a criteria. further if sale agreement is registered and possession is given to the purchaser then situation will differ. in that case it amounts to transfer and taxability arises in the year in which agreement is executed
