as per my view the period of holding will be considered from the date of transfer of ownership or date of possession whichever is earlier. the receipt of possession certificate is only a procedural aspect. if u sale the flat after 3 years from ownership/possession (w.e. is earlier) it will come under long term capital gain otherwise under short term capital gain.
