Hello,
I bought a flat in Dec 2005 which was registered in Apr 2006. I got the possession of the flat in Aug 2008.

a) Dec 2005 i.e. the month that I bought the flat in
b) Apr 2006 i.e. the month that I got the flat registered in
c) Aug 2008 i.e. the month that I got the possession of the flat in
Thank you for your replies.

April 2006 will be counted for computing capital gain tax.

Let us keep aside disposal aspect of flat for some time.
You got possession of flat in Aug 08. As I understand this has to be taken as date of completion. In other words, you have to treat the flat as self occupied or let out with effect from Aug 08 only and return the income from house property from FY 2008-09 or AY 2009-10.
Registration of flat in your name in Apr 2006 is immaterial for returning income
Asset has come into existence for use from Aug 08 and not earlier
It therefore appears to me that Aug 08 has to be reckoned for all purposes not excluding Capital Gains
Besides tax aspect, now real estate market is very unfavourable for sellers; you may therefore better wait for some time, if you really intend to dispose off
