LTCG on Flat Sale

I am planning to sell a flat in 2023. I am finding very conflicting information on internet for defining the date of purchase of the flat. Which one of below (or any other) is the correct year for the date of purchase for the purpose of calculating LTCG?

1. Date of Allotment - 2011

2. Date of Possession - 2012

3. Date of Registration - Haven't done till date

Note, entire money was paid up prior to date of allotment or possession or registration by availing home loan in lumpsum manner (not construction linked payment plan). This entire money payment was done in year 2007.

2012.                                  

Defining long-term for a flat:
• An immovable property (flat) is long-term if held for more than 24 months before transfer (Sec 2(42A)). The holding period runs from the date of acquisition (allotment for under-construction builder flats, or registration/possession for resale) to the date of transfer (registration or possession under part performance).
• For a sale in 2023 (before 23 July 2024): LTCG at 20% with indexation.
• Sales after 23 July 2024: the lower of 12.5% and 20% with indexation (residents, property acquired before 23 July 2024).
