Then i moved here permanently on 17th August 2014. i wanted to check if i am eligible for the Australian citizenship but am confused with the fact that which date is my Lawful Resident Date

I think, it is from the date you first entered as a PR but I think the period you stayed outside Australia after your first entry will be deducted to complete the period.

Your Lawful Residence Date would be your first entry to Australia regardless of a PR or a TR visa. 

I would assume your first entry was 10 April 2014.

You can check the Immi website and have a go at the Residence Calculator which will give you a more accurate answer. 

Good luck!
