September, After 1 year of your ILR issue date.
Assuming you are not married to a British Citizen. If you are married to a British Citizen you do not have to wait 1 year on ILR.

If your ILR was approved in July 2020, you can apply for Naturalisation in July 2021 in your case. Best to apply for SAR to confirm the ILR approval date. ILR approval date is what matters not BRP issue date.

Sorry I did not read your first message properly as previous user had already replied. However, yes you can apply for Naturalisation after being on ILR for 12 months counting from ILR approval date.
Note, you will need to send proof of your BRP when you apply for Naturalisation. Best to attach a copy of the approval email and SAR along with the documents. Also clarify in the cover letter about the ILR approval date. There could be technical issues why BRP was issued so late after approval.

All you need to list is employment in UK for the last 10 years (if any). Dont you remember where you have worked in the last 10 years? Dates can be estimates or you can leave it blank.
There is no need to get employment history from HMRC if you remember the work you have done in the last 10 years.
Please keep all questions in the same thread:

Only the passports covering the residency period.
(2); proof of freedom from immigration restriction ? if i send my BRP card (ILR) , i got card after 2 months of decision so it does not cover last 12 months coz it was issued late so can i print and scan decision email ?
Submit both.
(3) employment history : i just remember the years and little bit confusion of months, is it enough if i just put years ?
Ideally month and year will be sufficient - gives as much detail as you have/can remember. Add a covering note explaining what you have done for completing employment section.

Hi Guys
i Have pakistani passport and i m due to apply citizenship application in a week time.
i went to pakistan in January so on pakistan air port they stamp my passport ( ENTRY STAMP ) when i left pak i came via london and then local flight to my city (liverpool). on the way back, again pakistani airport stamp my passport with EXIT STAMP but on london they just scan my passport with no stamp and it was local flight to liverpool so no stamp as well.
