One house is sold in PY 2021-22 so agreement was done in PY 2021-22 but full consideration was paid in PY 2022-23. Hence the transaction will be considered in PY 2022-23 but for calculating capital gain which year's index rate is considered? Stamp duty & tds payment was done PY 2021-22 however sale is considered in PY 2022-23.

Quick Summary
When selling a property, the year of the sale agreement and registration determines which indexation rate applies for capital gains tax, not the year you receive full payment. Even if consideration is paid in a later financial year, the indexation benefit is calculated based on the financial year the transaction was completed. This means you'll use the Cost Inflation Index (CII) for the year of the agreement and registration.
But full consideration was paid in next year of agreement & possession was also given in next year hence we decided to consider sale transaction in next year i. e. FY 2022-23. TDS deducted will also be carried forward to FY 2022-23.
You have to consider indexation of FY 21-22 even if consideration received later . As per Govt records transaction completed in FY 21-22 and tax on same is to be paid in that year.
Payment of consideration is immaterial subject to conditions. if the registration was made during the fy 21-22, the same needs to be taken for INDEXATION purpose and not the year during which the consideration received
