Question 1

How to convert IPC sections to BNS?

Accepted Answer

Enter any IPC section number (e.g., "302" or "Section 420 IPC") into the converter. It instantly shows the equivalent BNS section, with the full text of both provisions side by side. The mapping covers all 511 IPC sections to their BNS equivalents under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

Question 2

What is the BNS equivalent of Section 420 IPC?

Accepted Answer

Section 420 IPC (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) corresponds to Section 318 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. The punishment remains similar — imprisonment up to 7 years and fine.

Question 3

Does it also convert CrPC to BNSS and Evidence Act to BSA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The converter handles all three criminal code transitions: IPC → BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), CrPC → BNSS (Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita), and Indian Evidence Act → BSA (Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam). All three new codes came into effect on 1 July 2024.
