Date on which ILR is considered "granted" when applying for UK citizenship

My ILR BRP has a date of issue of 18th June 2021. This was also the date on which I was notified via email from the Home Office that my ILR application was successful.

But, I only received my ILR BRP through post on 30th June 2021.

I'm planning to apply for UK citizenship now. When am I expected to have completed 12 months of stay under the ILR? (Ie, when is the earliest I can apply for UK citizenship?) From 19th June 2022 (which is one year after the date of issue on my ILR BRP and the date I was notified of my successful application for ILR) or from 1st July 2022 (which is when the ILR BRP was physically delivered to me)?

Thanks

The date of notification email.
I would always leave it a few days more, no need to rush and potentially make mistakes in the application.
Please keep all posts in one thread.

I also went with the date on the ILR card, which was 4 days later than the approval eMail. You should be good as you would upload the BRP copy as well.
