Difference between Record Date and Ex Date

In Indian markets Forget the Record Date
remember the Ex Date
Why?
Because on or before ExDate you must buy the Shares to be Eligible For bonus/Split/Dividend.

Normally Ex Date is 1-2 Days before record Date
By Record Date you must have Shares in your Account.This is the date on which the company looks at its records to see who the shareholders of the company are.

So Forget record Date.its a technical term
And Always remember Ex Date
