Comparison Between Ipc & Bns

Comparison between
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 and

Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita 2023
1. Definitions [Section 2 of BNS/Sections 8 to 52A of IPC]
General
• In IPC, there was no definition clause. All the interpretation clauses were spread over sections 8 to 52A of IPC.
• The definition of ‘section’ in section 50 of IPC stands omitted by BNS as it is now a word of extensive usage in
various legislations and it needs no definition or elucidation.
• Most of these interpretation clauses in sections 8 to 52A of IPC,1860 have been retained in BNS without any
change and have been compactly grouped in section 2 of BNS in alphabetical dictionary sequence for ease of
reading and reference.
Unless context otherwise requires
• Though most of the interpretation rules in sections 8 to 52A of IPC have been included in section 2 of BNS
without any change, it must be noted that the applicability of these interpretation rules in BNS is subject to
requirements of the context of a provision as all definitions in BNS in section 2 are subject to the qualificatory
phrase “unless the context otherwise requires”. The applicability of interpretation clauses in sections 8 to 52A
of IPC, except definitions in sections 9, 32 and 46, were not made subject to contextual requirements.
Child
• New definition of ‘child’ in section 2(3) of BNS
Transgender
• The definition of “gender” in section 8 of IPC recognizes only male and female genders. The new definition of
“gender” in section 2(10) of BNS recognizes “transgender” in addition to genders of “male” and “female”.
2. Child [Section 2(3) of BNS]
Child
• Section 2(3) of BNS is a new provision [NEW]

3. Court [Section 2(5) of BNS/Section 20 of IPC]
Omission of illustration
• Illustration below section 20 of IPC referring to “Regulation VII, 1816, of the Madras Code” has been omitted
from the definition in section 2(5) of BNS, as the illustration had become redundant long back with the repeal
of Regulation VII by the Madras Civil Courts Act, 1873.
4. Document [Section 2(8) of BNS/Section 29 of IPC]
Electronic and digital record
• Section 2(8) of BNS provides that documents include ‘electronics and digital record’.
5. Gender [Section 2(10) of BNS/Section 8 of IPC]
Transgender recognised as gender and defined
• Definition in section 2(10) expressly refers to transgender and defines the term which was not the case in
section 8 of IPC.
6. Judge [Section 2(16) of BNS/Section 19 of IPC]
Old Law – Section 19 (IPC, 1860) – “Judge”
• The old law’s definition of “Judge” is quite detailed.
• It states that the term “Judge” includes not only individuals officially designated as Judges but also those who
have the authority to render definitive judgments in any legal proceeding, whether civil or criminal.
• This definition encompasses individuals who can make judgments that, if not appealed against, would be
considered definitive.
• It also includes members of a body of persons authorized by law to render such judgments.
• The illustrations provided clarify this definition further, including examples of Collectors, Magistrates, and
members of a panchayat.
New Law – Section 2(16) – “Judge”
• The new law’s definition of “Judge” is more concise and follows a similar pattern.
• The new law aligns with the old law’s definition but presents the information in a more streamlined manner.
7. Month and Year [Section 2(20) of BNS/Section 49 of IPC]

8. Movable Property [Section 2(21) of BNS/Section 22 of IPC]
Scope of “Movable property” in section 2(21) not limited to property in corporeal form, unlike the definition in
section 22
• Section 2(21) of BNS omits the word “are intended to include corporeal” before the word “property” which
was there in the definition of movable property in section 22 of IPC.
• Therefore, movable property includes property of every description other than immovable property whether
such property is in corporeal (tangible physical) form or not.
• Definition of movable property under BNS will include intangible assets like patents, copyrights, etc., also as
well as actionable claims.
9. Public Servant [Section 2(28) of BNS/Section 21 of IPC]

• To reduce the burden on jails, community service has been included in BNS as a punishment for the first time
and it is being given legal status. [PIB Press Release, dated 20-12-2023]
• BNS prescribes Community Service as punishment for petty offences like non-appearance in response to a
proclamation, attempt to commit suicide, to compel or restraint exercise of lawful power of public servant,
petty theft on return of theft money, misconduct in public by a drunken person, defamation, etc.
• The term “community service” is not defined in BNS. However, it is defined by Explanation to section 23 of
BNSS to mean the work which the Court may order a convict to perform as a form of punishment that
benefits the community, for which he shall not be entitled to any remuneration.
Life imprisonment

• The punishment of imprisonment for life has been clearly defined as imprisonment for remainder of a
person’s natural life.
11. Sentence, Commutation of [Section 5 of BNS/Sections 54 and 55 of

IPC]
Changes in commutation provisions: Section 433 of Cr.PC vis-a-vis section 474 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha

The comparison between section 433 of Cr.PC and section 474 of BNSS is tabulated below:

• Section 103(2) of BNS provides that when a group of five or more persons acting in concert commits murder
on the ground of race, caste or community, sex, place of birth, language, personal belief or any other ground

IPC]
Increased punishment
• Section 106(1) of BNS provides that whoever causes death of any person by doing any rash or negligent act
not amounting to culpable homicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term
which may extend to five years.

maximum of five years. This change reflects a stricter approach to cases of negligence resulting in death.

Offender escaping or failing to report [NEW]
• Section 106(2) introduces an additional provision in sub-section (2) to section 106 of BNS, which addresses
situations where the offender escapes from the scene of the incident without reporting it to a police officer or
Magistrate after the incident. In such cases, the punishment is very severe, with a maximum term of
imprisonment of ten years with fine. [Section 106(2)]
• As the instances of hit and run cases are on the rise, a new provision under section 106(2) of BNS has been
made. Currently hit and run cases resulting in death due to reckless and negligent driving are registered u/s
304A of IPC, with maximum penalty of two years of imprisonment. As per Delhi Road Crash Report of 2021,
there were 555 cases (46.01% of total cases) where the registration number of vehicles involved in crime
were unknown, signifying hit and run cases. The Supreme Court had in several cases observed on the
inadequacy of law in view of increased vehicular accident. To address this issue, the new provision has been
introduced under clause 106(2), which was long overdue.
• Section 106(2) has been introduced to cover the hit and run accidents and to ensure reporting of accident
immediately. This has been introduced with an aim to save the victim within the critical ‘Golden Hour’ a term
introduced in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 in the year 2019.
• Punishment under section 106(2) is not attracted merely by virtue of driver escaping from the scene after the
incident to escape the wrath of bystanders who might mob-lynch him. Offence is committed only if escape
from scene is coupled with non-reporting by him to Police or Magistrate soon after the incident.
Medical practitioner [NEW]
• In case of registered medical practitioner if negligent act is done by a registered medical practitioner while
performing medical procedure, he shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which
may extend to two years, and shall also be liable to fine.
• For the purposes of this sub-section, “registered medical practitioner” means a medical practitioner who
possesses any medical qualification recognised under the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 (30 of
2019) and whose name has been entered in the National Medical Register or a State Medical Register under
that Act.
34. Suicide of Child or Person of Unsound Mind, Abetment of [Section

107 of BNS/Section 305 of IPC]

unsound mind” in BNS
35. Murder, Attempt to [Section 109 of BNS/Section 307 of IPC]
• Under IPC, section 307 prescribed only death penalty for attempt to murder by a life-convict. For attempt to
murder by life-convict, section 109 of BNS provides for death or with imprisonment for life, which shall mean
the remainder of that person’s natural life

36. Organised Crime [Section 111 of BNS] [New]

lakh rupees.
