14 May 2010
Book Closure means the date from which the transactions for the transfer in the share of the company will not be considered in the register of members of the company. It means the transfer of shares between the Book Closure period will be recorded only after the end of the closure period. It consist of a period like 15-05-10 to 25-05-10. It means any tranfer between the period from 15-05-10 to 25-05-10 will be given effect after 25-05-10.
Record date is the date which is used for distribution of dividends to the shareholders of the co. The shareholders registered on the Record date are eligible to get the dividends declared by the co. It represents a particular date for eg. 20-05-10. Generally it falls during the Book Closure Period.

Hello,
Book Closure & Record Date are two related terms.
Book Closure generally means closure of register of members for the purpose of finalization of list of members for dividend or right share or bonus share entitlement.
For this finalization Purpose Company fixes a Record Date and intimate members about that date. This date is a message to the shareholder that --- if your name appears in the register of member on the record date then you will entitled for dividend or right share or bonus share. If you sell your share before the record date then of course your name will be removed from register and you will lose your entitlement for dividend or right share or bonus share.
Hope am able to clarify you the difference in correct manner.
