If sale agreement with delivery of possession which is of the nature referred to in section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 is treated as transfer u/s 2(47).
You may verify, whether the transaction falls under this category or not. If it doesn't falls, consider the date of execution of sale deed (conveyance of the property) as date of transfer for the purpose of capital gains.
