That the amendment applied to daughters born on or after September 9, 2005. As regards daughters born before 9 September 2005, it was held by Hon'ble Supreme Court that they would get rights in the property upon the death of their father-coparcener (head of a joint family) on or after September 9, 2005.
The married daughter have equal right in the parental property after the advent of amendment in Hindu Succession Act 1956, that came into force since 9th sept 2005.

The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, originally didn't give daughters equal rights to ancestral property. This disparity was removed by an amendment that came into force on September 9, 2005.
