Date of sale will be the date of registry/possession. So you can take advance on the basis of sale agreement and make sure your registry is done after 02.09.2015 but i dont think dealer will agree for the same.

Hi Raja, yes you can take the advances for sale by mentioning in the sale agrrement. But registry and possession both should be after date of 02.09.2015.
