Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies which date is considered for capital gains tax indexation: the Occupancy Certificate (OC) or the Agreement for Sale. While the OC and allotment letter might not be the primary date, the registered or non-registered sale agreement is generally considered the date of acquisition. Case law suggests the date of allotment can also be relevant for indexation benefits when buying from a builder.

Is oc occupancy certificate, Date of acquisition 

This is for the purpose of indexation benefit
If you buy from a builder then the date of allotment is the date of acquisition.

if buy from outsiders date of sale agreement is the date of acquisition.

As per ITAT, date of allotment is to be considered as date of acquisition.

Can you send me the name of judgement

Nor OC neither allotment letter to be considered as date of acquision. However allotment letter and further payments to builder or any other authority can be considered for capital gain indexation. 

only registered / non registered  sale agreement (Registry of property) can be considered as date of acquisition.
