As per Section 45(5A) the captal gain arising from transfer of land or buidling as increased by the amount of cash consideration if any received shall be taxed in the year in which the Certificate of completion is received. Hence the date of registration of JD agreement is irrelavent to determine the year of taxability of capital gain. So the benefit of section 54EC shall be applicable in such case.
