IPCvsBNS is a dedicated legal reference platform created to assist the students, legal profession and the general public to understand the current Indian criminal justice system and the transition from the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
Our Mission
The Indian criminal law has undergone a historic change. The IPC has been replaced after over 160 years, with the BNS being a modernized system that uses a new language, offers gender-neutral provisions and special recognition of digital-age crimes. We’re here to make this transition as simple as possible, section by section and comparison by comparison with nothing left in the dark by the evolving legal landscape.
Through detailed side-by-side comparisons, structured tables, and plain-language explanations, we break down:
- Historical background of both codes
- Section-wise mapping between IPC and BNS
- Key differences in punishments, definitions, and procedures
- Our take on which provisions offer more clarity and modern relevance
