Old vs New Criminal Laws

The IPC, CrPC and Indian Evidence Act were replaced by the BNS, BNSS and BSA. Not every old section has a one-to-one match and corresponding sections can differ in effect, so we list a mapping only once it has been verified against a source.

Verified mappings are not published yet

We publish a mapping only after checking it against an official source, so this table is still being built. Meanwhile you can browse the BNS, BNSS and BSA by section.
