firstly clarify that why the shares are transfered to escrow account, In my opinion when you sell the shares in a demat form then the date on which you sell the shares is considered as a sell date and not the date on which you receive money

agreement to sell the share is take place in july, after that shares were transferred in escrow account untill the agreement would be final. once agreement become final the consideration received by the seller and shares transferred to the acquirer from escrow account. now the question is what is the relevant date of transfer in term of sec-2(47)?
Once the shares are transferred to an escrow account then you cannot get it back again and hence the date of sale is transfer of shares to an enscrow account.
