Source. National Crime Records Bureau (Ministry of Home Affairs), Corresponding Section Tables for the BNS, BNSS and BSA, reproduced row by row as published. Correspondence is not always one-to-one: a provision may be split, merged or changed in substance, and “(Change)” marks rows the table flags as changed. The new laws apply from 1 July 2024; which law governs a case depends on the date of the offence and the stage of proceedings. Read the bare text before relying on any mapping.
