Convert between old and new Indian criminal code sections — IPC/BNS, CrPC/BNSS, Evidence Act/BSA.
IPC ↔ BNS Converter
Convert between old and new Indian criminal code sections — IPC/BNS, CrPC/BNSS, Evidence Act/BSA.
How was this result?
India transitioned to new criminal codes on 1 July 2024. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) replaces the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) replaces the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) replaces the Indian Evidence Act (IEA).
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.
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.
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.
