Hai ... As per Explanation 3 to Section 48 of Income tax Act 1961 Cost inflation index for the PY in which the asset was 1st held by the assessee ..... With reference to above it might be the year of possession transfered for the 1st time ...
As per income tax possession does matter. You got possession on FY 04-05.
