CrPC to BNSS: the section number you have, and the one it is now
The BNSS replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure on 1 July 2024 and renumbered almost all of it. Free · checked 11 September 2026
Just the number, with its letter if it has one — “420”, “41A”, “65B”.
Mappings from the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section tables, checked 11 September 2026. Classifications, for the BNS only, from the First Schedule to the BNSS. Nothing is typed in by hand. The search needs JavaScript; every mapping is also printed as a plain table that does not: IPC to BNS, CrPC to BNSS and Evidence Act to BSA.
Quick answer
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 on 1 July 2024. CrPC 154 (FIR) is now BNSS 173, CrPC 438 (anticipatory bail) is BNSS 482, and CrPC 482 (the High Court’s inherent powers) is BNSS 528. Enter any CrPC section above for its BNSS number, or reverse. Which Code governs a step is decided by whether the proceeding was already pending on 1 July 2024, not by the date of the offence.
Key takeaways
- Enter a CrPC number to get the corresponding BNSS provision, or a BNSS number to get the CrPC section it came from. Every match is shown — CrPC 156 went to three sub-sections of BNSS 175.
- Two numbers now point at different law in the two Codes: 482 is inherent powers in the CrPC but anticipatory bail in the BNSS, and 144 is urgent orders in the CrPC but maintenance in the BNSS.
- The transition test is pendency. An investigation, inquiry, trial, application or appeal pending immediately before 1 July 2024 continues under the CrPC; anything begun later runs under the BNSS (s. 531(2)(a)).
- Of the 548 CrPC provisions in the Government’s table, 181 are marked changed — so for procedure, "moved" and "changed" matter more than they do for the Penal Code.
- The search box needs JavaScript. The complete CrPC to BNSS table below is rendered on the server and does not.
Counted over Code of Criminal Procedure provisions — 548 of them — so the bars answer “what happened to the number I used to look up”. Counting new sections instead would make the same change look smaller, because several old provisions often share one new one.
- Renumbered only351(64%)
The corresponding procedural provision, under a new number.
- Merged into a shared section5(1%)
Folded in with others, landing in a sub-section.
- Changed in substance181(33%)
Carried over, but the Government marks it altered.
- Split across provisions0(0%)
One old provision, now more than one.
- Repealed with no replacement11(2%)
Gone, and nothing took its place.
And going the other way
26 provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita have no counterpart in the Code of Criminal Procedure. They are new procedural provisions, and no CrPC section number leads to them.
| Outcome | Provisions |
|---|---|
| Renumbered only | 351 |
| Merged into a shared section | 5 |
| Changed in substance | 181 |
| Split across provisions | 0 |
| Repealed with no replacement | 11 |
| Total old provisions accounted for | 548 |
Derived from the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table for the BNSS, row by row. That table marks changed provisions inline, so the changed-in-substance count is read directly from it.
Which Code governs a procedural step — pendency, not the date of the offence
Offences and procedure use different transition tests, and this is the point most often run together. An offence committed before 1 July 2024 is charged under the Indian Penal Code (BNS s. 358). Procedure asks a different question: was the proceeding already pending immediately before that date?
Section 531(2)(a) of the BNSS says that if, immediately before 1 July 2024, "any appeal, application, trial, inquiry or investigation" was pending, it is "disposed of, continued, held or made" under the CrPC "as if this Sanhita had not come into force". Anything not pending on that date runs under the BNSS.
So an offence committed in May 2024 and reported in August 2024 is charged under the IPC but investigated under the BNSS: the charge-sheet cites IPC sections, the custody orders cite BNSS sections, and neither is a mistake. Section 531(3) adds that a limitation period that had already expired under the CrPC is not revived by a longer one in the BNSS.
Section 531 states the rule, but applying it is not always mechanical. Whether a particular step — a fresh application in an older case, or a complaint filed but not yet taken cognizance of — was "pending" can depend on its facts and on how the High Court concerned reads the section. Where the answer matters, check that.
Common CrPC to BNSS section mappings
These are the CrPC sections people most often search for, with the BNSS provision each now corresponds to. Every row is read from the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table, the same data the converter uses, so the two cannot disagree.
| CrPC | Subject | BNSS | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|
| 41 | Arrest without warrant | BNSS 35(1); BNSS 35(2) | merged (marked changed) |
| 41A | Notice of appearance instead of arrest | BNSS 35(3), 35(4), 35(5), 35(6) | merged (marked changed) |
| 125 | Maintenance of wives, children and parents | BNSS 144 | moved |
| 144 | Urgent orders in cases of nuisance or apprehended danger | BNSS 163 | moved |
| 154 | FIR — information in cognizable cases | BNSS 173(1), 173(3) | changed |
| 156 | Police power to investigate; Magistrate ordering investigation | BNSS 175(1); BNSS 175(2); BNSS 175(3) | changed |
| 161 | Examination of witnesses by police | BNSS 180 | changed |
| 164 | Confessions and statements before a Magistrate | BNSS 183 | changed |
| 167 | Custody during investigation; default bail | BNSS 187 | changed |
| 173 | Police report (charge-sheet) | BNSS 193(3), 193(8) | changed |
| 200 | Examination of complainant | BNSS 223(1) | changed |
| 313 | Examination of the accused | BNSS 351 | moved |
| 436A | Maximum detention of an undertrial | BNSS 479(2), 479(3) | changed |
| 437 | Bail in non-bailable offences | BNSS 480 | changed |
| 438 | Anticipatory bail | BNSS 482 | moved |
| 439 | Bail powers of High Court and Sessions Court | BNSS 483 | moved |
| 482 | Inherent powers of the High Court | BNSS 528 | moved |
"Moved" means the table lists a move without marking it changed — good evidence the wording came across, not proof. "Changed" means the table marks it altered.
The CrPC numbers that mean something different in the BNSS
The most dangerous conversions are the ones where the old number still exists in the new Code but now refers to unrelated law. A search for "482" or "144" returns a real BNSS section — just not the one the searcher had in mind.
Section 482 of the CrPC was the saving of the High Court’s inherent powers, used to quash proceedings. That is now BNSS 528. Section 482 of the BNSS is anticipatory bail, which was CrPC 438.
Section 144 of the CrPC was the power to issue urgent orders in cases of nuisance or apprehended danger. That is now BNSS 163. Section 144 of the BNSS is maintenance of wives, children and parents, which was CrPC 125.
⚠️
Check which Code a number is from
A petition headed "section 482" filed after July 2024 could mean either Code. Read the provision it describes, not just the number, and use the direction switch above to confirm.
Reading a result: moved, changed, merged and new procedural provisions
A result marked "moved" is a one-to-one move the Government’s table does not mark as altered. A result marked "changed" is one the table marks altered: CrPC 154 moved to BNSS 173 and gained zero-FIR, electronic-information and preliminary-enquiry provisions, so old case law on section 154 needs checking against the new text.
Some CrPC sections were spread across sub-sections. CrPC 41A, the notice to appear, is now sub-sections (3) to (6) of BNSS 35, and CrPC 156 went to BNSS 175(1), (2) and (3). The converter returns every one of them rather than the first.
Going the other way, 26 provisions of the BNSS are new procedural provisions with no CrPC predecessor, such as section 35(7) on arresting infirm or elderly people for minor offences and section 530 on electronic proceedings. Searching those returns no CrPC number, because there is none.
Worked examples
Example 1: An anticipatory bail application in 2026
- Number in an old precedent
- CrPC 438
- When the application is filed
- March 2026, no proceeding pending on 1 July 2024
- 1.Pick CrPC, "Old → new", and enter 438.
- 2.The converter returns BNSS 482, "Direction for grant of bail to person apprehending arrest", marked moved.
- 3.Nothing was pending on 1 July 2024, so section 531(2)(a) does not keep the CrPC alive: the application is made under the BNSS.
Result
File under BNSS 482. The precedent on CrPC 438 is still the starting point for how the power is exercised, subject to any change in the new text.
Example 2: A quashing petition that cites "section 482"
- Number in the draft
- 482
- Relief sought
- Quashing of an FIR registered in October 2024
- 1.Pick CrPC and enter 482 with "Old → new": the result is BNSS 528, saving of inherent powers of the High Court.
- 2.Switch to "New → old" and enter 482: the result is CrPC 438, anticipatory bail — a different power entirely.
- 3.The FIR is from October 2024, so the proceeding began under the BNSS.
Result
The inherent-powers petition is under BNSS 528. Citing "section 482" after July 2024 without naming the Code points to anticipatory bail.
Example 3: An investigation that straddles 1 July 2024
- Offence
- Committed May 2024
- FIR registered
- August 2024
- 1.The offence was committed before 1 July 2024, so it is charged under the IPC (BNS s. 358).
- 2.No investigation was pending on 1 July 2024, so the FIR and investigation run under the BNSS (s. 531(2)(a)).
- 3.Enter CrPC 154 and 167 to find the provisions that now apply: BNSS 173 for the FIR and BNSS 187 for custody.
Result
IPC for the offence, BNSS for the procedure. The case file correctly carries both numbering systems.
More questions about this page
What is CrPC 438 in BNSS?▼
Anticipatory bail, section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, is now section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. The Government’s corresponding-section table lists it as a move without a change marker. Do not confuse it with CrPC 482, which was the High Court’s inherent powers and is now BNSS 528.
What is CrPC 482 in BNSS?▼
The saving of the High Court’s inherent powers — CrPC 482, used to quash FIRs and proceedings — is now section 528 of the BNSS. Section 482 of the BNSS is a different provision: anticipatory bail, formerly CrPC 438. A citation of "section 482" after 1 July 2024 should name the Code it refers to.
What is CrPC 154 in BNSS?▼
Section 154, recording information about a cognizable offence as an FIR, is now section 173 of the BNSS, and the Government’s table marks it changed. Section 173 lets information be given at any police station whatever the place of the offence, allows electronic information signed within three days, and permits a preliminary enquiry for offences carrying three to seven years.
Does the BNSS apply to cases pending before July 2024?▼
No. Section 531(2)(a) of the BNSS keeps the Code of Criminal Procedure for any appeal, application, trial, inquiry or investigation pending immediately before 1 July 2024. Anything begun on or after that date runs under the BNSS, even if the offence was committed earlier. Whether a particular step counts as pending can depend on its facts.
What is section 144 CrPC called in BNSS?▼
The power to issue urgent orders in cases of nuisance or apprehended danger, CrPC 144, is section 163 of the BNSS. Section 144 of the BNSS is maintenance of wives, children and parents, which was CrPC 125. The same number now refers to unrelated law, so check which Code a citation comes from.
Why does one CrPC section show several BNSS sections?▼
Because the provision was spread across sub-sections of the new Code. CrPC 156 went to BNSS 175(1), (2) and (3), and CrPC 41A to sub-sections (3) to (6) of BNSS 35. The converter returns every corresponding provision the Government’s table lists, rather than the first, because any one of them alone is an incomplete answer.
Does this converter work without JavaScript?▼

The what happened column is the part to read. Merged means the new section alone is not your answer and the sub-section is. Changed means the Government’s table marks the provision altered. Repealed means there is no new number. For the CrPC the table marks changes inline, so the changed column is as complete as the Government’s own table.
