Now Technically speaking what is the date of attivation of Registration is it 8th July or 13th July?
What will happened, for the material despatched in between 8th and 13th July
Can the unit take the credit of stocks that is holding purchases made before the registration?

05 August 2011 once you have been communicated the Registration number....( registration certificate may follow the same at later day), you have to intimate your suppliers to put the registration number in their records and invoices, and you get eligible for input credit on such invoices.

invoices without "your registration number" does not rank for cenvat credit.

cut off date is "grant of registration" date.
