Defination by ICICIDirect:

The registered shareholders of the company are entitled to corporate benefits such as dividend, bonus, rights etc. announced by the company from time to time. Since, the ownership of shares of companies traded on the stock exchange is freely transferable and to enable the company to know the persons entitled to the benefits, all transfers of securities have to be registered with the company (this is required in case of transfer of shares in physical form). Since transfer of securities is a continuous process open any time, the company announces cut off dates from time to time and members on the register of shareholders as of these cut off dates are entitled to the benefits. Such cut-off dates are record dates. Alternatively, the company might choose the close the register of shareholders for registration of transfer during a specified period. All transfer requests received before the commencement of the book closure or on or before the record date are considered for the purpose of transfer. A Company cannot close its books for more than 30 days at stretch for a book closure, and not more 45 days in a year. The period between two Book Closure cannot be less than 90 days.

ACC announced a Book Closure (BC) for the period 6th July to 30th July'96. During this period, the company had closed its register of security holders. This was done to determine the number of registered members who were eligible for the Bonus 3:5 and a dividend of 40%. The process of transfer of shares was operational till 5th July'96. The company announced a No Delivery period from 12th June to 9th July'96 before the Book Closure. During this period, trading was permitted in the securities but the trades were settled only after 9th July. Hence, the buyers of the shares were not be eligible for the Bonus 3:5 and a 40% dividend. The first day of the No Delivery period is considered as an Ex - Date since the buyer of the shares is not eligible for the corporate benefits for this BC.

The same logic holds good for Record date, but the two main differences are that:

In case of a record date, the company does not close its register of security holders. Record date is a cut off date (in the above example '5th july96) for determining the number of registered members who are eligible for the corporate benefits [Interim dividend (30%)].

Company usually gives bonus shares as a substitute of dividend payouts.
Is there any other scientific reasons for the companies to issue bonous shares? what does the company benefit from capitalizing part of its resrve,SHE is still the same?

CAN ANYONE PLSE TELLL ME WHAT IS RECORD DATE FOR BONUS SHARES AND WHEN IT WILL BE GIVEN TO SHAREHOLDER

repl will issue bonus 1for1 as no money would not be paid by the co. for fractiion share but the may be lesser face value or afree warrant to be converet on later date.

thanks for posting my comments on website. In this connection I want to add one thing about record date that bonuses will be issued only to existing holders rather than original allottee as in company law there is no provision for issuing shares retrospectively

i think bonous shares 1;1 cheers and enjoy i am sure investor wil not loss this shares long term

ISSUE OF BONUS SHARES DOESENT HAVE ANY SENCE BECAUSE THE RATEIS STILL TO HIGH INSPITE OF DOING THIS THEY HAVE TO SPLIT THE SHARE IN 5:1 RATIO

even if they issue bonus shares. price would automatically get adjusted and there would hardly be any chances of gain.
