21 March 2014 Possession date is important to count the time limit for exemption under section 54.

Citation :- CIT Vs Mrs. Shahzada Begum [1988] 173 ITR 397(AP).

Since you have not obtained possession, in all probability, the assessing officer will not allow your claim meaning thereby you will be assessed to tax. If happens so, seek relief in appeal before higher authorities citing Chennai High court decision in CIT Vs. Sardamal Kothari [2006] 302 ITR 286.
