Dear Mr.Hardik,
Thnx for your reply.
I had been told by a few senior tax consultant as well as Income Tax officer friend too that without possession transaction did`nt completed hence only possession date will qualify as reference date not the conveyance deed date....
If u have any case law supporting your answer pls let me know i shall be obliged.

possession is not the major condition. As per section 27 of IT ACT as well you are deemed as owner of property in part performance of transfer of properties act
Pls Give your Comments on Below response: dhiraj aggarwal,TAXPOINT (Director),9829551008 Says:
As per Section 49(1) read with section 2(42A) of income tax Act, period of holding should be taken from the date of possession of property in case of immoveable property
