I saw this message from one Mr.Manish on a different forum (I think it is not the boarder Manish_sat of this forum)- I think he may be saying right here, though I advise People can verify it from there own sources->
"There is a lot of noise around, in the messages on the issue of date one should latest buy the shares to be eligible to get bonus and split. For some reason its being quoted as OCTOBER 5, 2007 since the record date is OCTOBER 12, 2007. I called in NSE India and had a word with Clearing and Settlements Division only to update you with whatever little I can in my capacity.
We follow T + 3 policy. So boarders if you miss the bus of buying, if at all you are planning to buy JC more or take an entry - You can purchase the stock until OCTOBER 8, 2007 - and you will have the stock in your demat account on OCTOBER 11, 2007 (only to be on the safer side, you can even purchase it on OCTOBER 9 , 2007). Anyways, you buy the stock on 8th october and you get the stock electronically in your demat account or your brokers pool account on OCTOBER 11, 2007 (post market) and THE COMPANY will have to consider everyone eligible for the bonus and split on their books - POST CLOSING OCTOBER 12, 2007 i.e. everyone who holds it on the company records at 5:00 pm on Friday, October 12, 2007."
