But are they asking about the sponsor or the principal applicant ?
Read carefully, there are many pages to complete. All of them require reading.

It says right before those checkboxes "Please check the box which applies to you (the primary applicant):"

Hello,

I'm a principal applicant from India and applied visa under Family sponsorship. My application was submitted on 8th September 2020 and currently my medical and biometric got completed on 1st of march 2021. The application status is in submitted state. My question is how long will it take to process the application for passport pickup currently? By which month I can expect my application will be finalized? I can see in the portal currently they are finalizing the application of the month June 2019.

There is no way anyone can tell you. Between 1-12 months is a reasonable guess, although such a broad window not of much use. Right now longer is more likely than shorter - but hopefully IRCC will catch up on current delays.

By which month I can expect my application will be finalized?
It would be a mistake to "expect" any part of the process by a specific month - processing times vary wildly depending on the individual circumstances. You'll set yourself up for disappointment, and your mind will convince you of all sorts of nefarious conspiracies against you.

The best you can do is hope that your process will be typical enough to finalize within 12 months.

You can keep an eye on the tracking spreadsheet to see what others are experiencing, but the big take-away from those stats is: processing times vary wildly depending on the individual circumstances.

You still have the bulk of the processing to be completed which are the background checks. Sponsorship time target is 1 year but it is taking longer due to covid. If you need an interview it will also take longer.
