IPC to BNS: the section number you have, and the one it is now
The Sanhita replaced the Penal Code on 1 July 2024 and renumbered almost all of it. Free · checked 11 September 2026
Just the number. “420”, “IPC 302” and “s 498A” all work.
Mapping from the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table, checked 11 September 2026. Classification from the First Schedule to the BNSS. Nothing here is typed in by hand — the full table is printed below this tool and is the same data.
Quick answer
On 1 July 2024 the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 replaced the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and renumbered almost all of it — IPC 302 is now BNS 103, IPC 420 is now BNS 318(4), IPC 498A is now BNS 85. Enter any old section number above to get the new one. Which Code applies to your own matter, though, is decided by when the conduct happened and not by when the complaint was filed: an offence committed before 1 July 2024 is still charged under the IPC.
Key takeaways
- Enter a number in either direction — old to new, or new back to old. The tool reads the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table, and the whole table is printed further down this page so it works with JavaScript switched off.
- A new section number on its own is often not the answer. Four provisions of the old Code were folded into BNS 318 alone, so two people citing "BNS 318" can be talking about different offences carrying different punishments. The sub-section is what separates them.
- Of the 525 old provisions in the table, 213 were only renumbered, 215 were merged into a shared section, 80 are marked as altered in substance rather than merely moved, and 15 were repealed with nothing put in their place.
- Three of the best-known IPC sections have no successor at all: 377, 497 and 124A. BNS 152 is not "the new sedition" — it is a differently worded offence with no IPC predecessor, and treating the two as the same provision is a mistake with real consequences.
- This tool converts numbers. It does not tell you what to do about a criminal charge, and no page can — for that you need a lawyer, and legal aid is free if you cannot pay for one.
Counted over old provisions — 525 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 only213(41%)
Same offence, same words, new number.
- Merged into a shared section215(41%)
Folded in with others, landing in a sub-section.
- Changed in substance80(15%)
Carried over, but the Government marks it altered.
- Split across provisions2(0%)
One old provision, now more than one.
- Repealed with no replacement15(3%)
Gone, and nothing took its place.
And going the other way
16 provisions of the Sanhita have no counterpart in the old Code at all. Those are not renumberings of anything — they are new offences, and no old section number leads to them.
| Outcome | Provisions |
|---|---|
| Renumbered only | 213 |
| Merged into a shared section | 215 |
| Changed in substance | 80 |
| Split across provisions | 2 |
| Repealed with no replacement | 15 |
| Total old provisions accounted for | 525 |
Derived from the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table, row by row. "Changed in substance" counts the rows that table marks "(Change)", and it is a floor rather than a complete count: markers that fall on a wrapped line in the source cannot be tied to a section safely and are dropped rather than guessed at.
Why every old section number stopped working in July 2024
The Indian Penal Code was in force for 164 years, from 1860 until 1 July 2024. In that time its section numbers became a shared shorthand: "a 420 case", "booked under 302", "a 498A complaint". Those numbers were doing the work of names.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita did not amend the Code. It replaced it, and in doing so reorganised the whole thing — 511 sections became 358, arranged in 20 chapters instead of 23, with related offences gathered together where the old Code had scattered them. Almost nothing kept its number.
So the shorthand broke all at once. Every judgment before July 2024, every textbook printed before it, every FIR from an earlier year and a great deal of what is still published online uses numbering that no longer matches the statute in force. That is the gap this tool exists to close.
ℹ️
The old numbers are not obsolete, only displaced
An IPC section number in a live case file is not necessarily an error. Conduct from before 1 July 2024 is still charged, tried and punished under the Indian Penal Code, so a trial running today can properly be about IPC 302. What changed is which Code governs new conduct.
Which Code applies — the date of the conduct, not the date of the complaint
This is the single most consequential thing to get right, and it is the thing most often got wrong. The Code that applies is fixed by when the offence was committed. It is not fixed by when the complaint was made, when the FIR was registered, or when the case came up for hearing.
An offence committed on 30 June 2024 and reported in 2026 is an IPC offence, and will be charged under the IPC. An offence committed on 2 July 2024 is a Sanhita offence even if it is only reported years later. There is no cut-over by filing date and no discretion about it.
The practical consequence is that both numbering systems are live at once and will be for years — as long as it takes for pre-July-2024 conduct to work through investigation, trial and appeal. Anyone reading or writing about Indian criminal law has to be able to move between them, which is why this tool runs in both directions.
Why some sections merged, and why the sub-section is your real answer
The old Code habitually gave an offence one section for its definition and another for its punishment, and then further sections for aggravated versions. Cheating ran across IPC 415 (what cheating is), 416 (cheating by personation), 417 (the punishment), 418 (cheating where the offender was bound to protect the victim’s interest) and 420 (cheating with dishonest inducement to deliver property).
The Sanhita gathers that into two sections with sub-sections. BNS 318 holds cheating: 318(1) defines it, 318(2) punishes it generally, 318(3) covers the breach-of-trust variant and 318(4) is the old 420. Personation moved to BNS 319, with 319(1) defining it and 319(2) punishing it.
So "IPC 420 is now BNS 318" is true but incomplete, and incomplete in a way that matters. BNS 318(2) carries up to three years; 318(4) carries up to seven, and is non-bailable where 318(2) is bailable. Citing the section without the sub-section leaves out both the punishment and whether bail is a right.
⚠️
Where this bites
The tool always gives you the sub-section where the source table does. If you take only the section number away from a result marked "merged", you have taken the least useful half of the answer.
What "changed in substance" means on a result
Some provisions were carried into the Sanhita under a new number and in the same words. Others were carried across but altered — an ingredient added, a punishment raised, a new sub-section bolted on. The Government’s own comparison table distinguishes the two, marking the altered rows.
BNS 103 is the clearest example. It is the successor to IPC 302, murder, and 103(1) reads as the old section did. But 103(2) is new: murder committed by a group of five or more persons acting on grounds of race, caste, community, sex, place of birth, language or personal belief — the provision written in response to mob lynching. So BNS 103 is not simply IPC 302 renumbered. It contains IPC 302 and something the old Code had no equivalent of.
Where a result carries this marking, do not assume the old wording, the old maximum sentence or the old case law transfers intact. Read the new section. The tool flags the fact; it deliberately does not try to summarise what changed, because that varies provision by provision and a one-line summary of a substantive amendment is a good way to mislead somebody.
The sections that simply disappeared
15 provisions of the old Code have no successor. For most of them nobody notices — obsolete definitions, provisions about false weights and measures that other legislation now covers. Three are different.
IPC 377 and IPC 497 had already been dealt with by the Supreme Court before the Sanhita was drafted: 377 was read down so far as consensual adult conduct was concerned, and 497, adultery, was struck down outright. The Sanhita does not carry either. That leaves a gap that has been noticed and argued about, particularly as regards non-consensual acts that 377 once covered.
IPC 124A, sedition, is the one most often mis-stated. It does not appear in the Sanhita, and the comparison table marks it deleted. BNS 152 — endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India — is frequently described as replacing it, but the table lists BNS 152 as having no IPC predecessor, and its ingredients are not the ingredients of 124A. Calling them the same provision under a new number is wrong, and it is wrong in a direction that matters, because the case law built up around 124A does not simply carry over.
Reading a result that gives you more than one number
Sometimes one old section maps to several new ones. IPC 498A, cruelty by a husband or his relatives, is the common example: the offence became BNS 85 and the Explanation defining cruelty became BNS 86, so the tool returns both. Neither on its own is the full provision.
The reverse also happens. Searching a new section often returns several old ones, because the new section gathered them. That is not ambiguity in the data — it is the merge, shown from the other side.
The tool never shows you only the first match. Where the source table lists more than one correspondence it lists all of them, because picking one and hiding the rest would produce a confident answer that is sometimes the wrong half.
Where this mapping comes from, and what we could not check
The mapping is the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table, published for police use. It is taken from the two government hosts that serve it: the National Crime Records Bureau’s training portal, and the Uttar Pradesh Police site. Both carry the same document; the UP Police copy additionally marks which rows changed in substance, which is where that flag comes from.
Classifications — cognizable or not, bailable or not, which court tries it — are read from the First Schedule to the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita as published on India Code by the Legislative Department. That Schedule is the only authority for them, and nothing here is inferred from the punishment or from the offence’s seriousness.
Two limits are worth stating plainly. The Bureau of Police Research and Development handbook, sansad.in and doj.gov.in all refuse connections from our build environment, so the BPRD handbook was not read. And the two reachable copies of the corresponding-section table are the same document on two hosts rather than two independent compilations, so this page does not claim they corroborate each other on the substance — only that the provenance is governmental.

Worked examples
Example 1: A cheating case: "he took ₹4 lakh and vanished"
- Old section everyone uses
- IPC 420
- Conduct took place
- March 2026 — after the Sanhita came into force
- 1.Enter 420 with "I have an old number" selected.
- 2.The tool returns BNS 318(4), and marks the relationship "merged" — because IPC 415, 417, 418 and 420 all became parts of BNS 318.
- 3.It also returns the classification for 318(4) from the First Schedule: cognizable, non-bailable, triable by a Magistrate of the first class.
- 4.Because the conduct is from 2026, the Sanhita governs it, so BNS 318(4) is the provision to cite and not IPC 420.
Result
Cite BNS 318(4), with the sub-section. Citing "BNS 318" alone would leave it ambiguous between a bailable three-year offence and a non-bailable seven-year one.
Example 2: A threat: an old judgment cites IPC 506
- Old section
- IPC 506 — punishment for criminal intimidation
- Why you are looking
- To find the current provision the judgment corresponds to
- 1.Enter 506. The tool returns BNS 351, and gives the reference as 351(2), 351(3) — two sub-sections, not one.
- 2.That is because the old section carried a general punishment and a heavier one where the threat was to cause death or grievous hurt, and the Sanhita keeps that split across two sub-sections.
- 3.Checking the First Schedule for 351(2): non-cognizable and bailable. The police cannot register a case on it without a Magistrate’s order.
Result
The judgment’s IPC 506 corresponds to BNS 351(2) or 351(3) depending on what was threatened. Which one is not a question the number answers — the facts decide it.
Example 3: A section with no successor: IPC 124A
- Old section
- IPC 124A — sedition
- What you may have read
- That it is now BNS 152
- 1.Enter 124A. The tool returns no new number and marks the relationship "repealed, with nothing in its place".
- 2.Searching BNS 152 in the other direction returns nothing either — the table lists it as having no IPC predecessor.
- 3.So the two provisions are not two numbers for one offence. They are different offences, and the Sanhita does not carry 124A forward.
Result
There is no new number for IPC 124A. Conduct from before 1 July 2024 may still be prosecuted under it; conduct after that date has to be measured against BNS 152 on its own terms, and the sedition case law does not simply transfer.
More questions about this page
What is IPC 420 in BNS?▼
IPC 420 — cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property — is now BNS 318(4). The sub-section matters: BNS 318 gathered four old provisions, and 318(4) is the seven-year, non-bailable one that corresponds to the old 420. BNS 318(2), the general cheating punishment, is a three-year bailable offence and is not the same thing.
Is IPC 302 the same as BNS 103?▼
BNS 103 is the successor to IPC 302, and 103(1) reads as the old section did. But the Government’s comparison table marks the row as changed, because BNS 103(2) adds a new offence the old Code had no equivalent of: murder by a group of five or more acting on grounds of race, caste, community, sex, place of birth, language or belief. So BNS 103 contains IPC 302 and more.
Which law applies if the crime happened before July 2024?▼
The Indian Penal Code. The applicable Code is fixed by the date of the conduct, not by when the complaint was made or the FIR registered. An offence committed on 30 June 2024 and reported in 2026 is charged under the IPC, and the trial proceeds under it. Both numbering systems will therefore stay live for years.
What happened to IPC 377?▼
It has no successor in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The Supreme Court had already read it down so far as consensual conduct between adults was concerned, and the Sanhita does not carry the provision forward in any form. That has been noticed as leaving a gap, particularly as regards non-consensual acts the section once covered, and it is the subject of ongoing argument rather than a settled position.
Is BNS 152 the new sedition law?▼
Not as a matter of the official mapping. The corresponding-section table marks IPC 124A deleted and lists BNS 152 as having no IPC predecessor. BNS 152 — endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India — has different ingredients from 124A. They are widely compared, and the comparison is worth making, but they are not one offence under two numbers and the sedition case law does not automatically apply to the new provision.
How many IPC sections changed their number?▼
Nearly all of them. Across the 525 old provisions in the Government’s table, 213 were renumbered without substantive change, 215 were merged into a section shared with other provisions, 80 are marked as altered in substance, 2 were split, and 15 were repealed outright. A further 16 provisions of the Sanhita are new and correspond to nothing in the old Code.
Does this tool work without JavaScript?▼
Yes. The search box needs JavaScript, but the complete mapping table is rendered on this page by the server, so every answer the tool can give is also readable as a plain table below it. That table is also what search engines index.
Can I rely on this for a court filing?▼
Use it to find the provision, then read the provision. The mapping here is the Government’s own table and the classifications are read from the First Schedule to the BNSS, both cited with the date checked — but a filing should cite the statute, not a conversion tool, and whether a provision fits your facts is a question for an advocate. GetNyay is not a law firm.

The complete mapping: every IPC section and what it became
All 525 provisions in the Government’s comparison table, in the order the table gives them. This is the same data the search box uses, so if the box is not working for you — scripting off, slow connection — every answer it could give is here.
The what happened column is the part to read rather than skip. Merged means the new section number alone is not your answer and the sub-section is. Changed means the provision was altered in substance, so the old wording and the old case law may not carry over. Repealed means there is no new number at all.

Not legal advice. GetNyay is not a law firm and does not practise law. This tool converts section numbers; it does not tell you what a provision means for your situation, and it is no substitute for an advocate on your own facts.
No legal reviewer, deliberately. Our tax and consumer pages carry a Chartered Accountant’s review credit. That credential does not extend to criminal law, so this page has none — we would rather show you the sources than a review that has not happened. Every mapping row and its source is published in our editorial policy.
Mapping checked against the Ministry of Home Affairs corresponding-section table on 2026-09-12; classifications against the First Schedule to the BNSS. Where a row could not be verified it is excluded from this tool rather than guessed at.
