How IPC2BNS is published
IPC2BNS is an independent, one-person publication by Avneet Kumar Singla (CA Intermediate, ICAI), founder of Avneet Digital Enterprises — not a multi-person newsroom. Every section mapping is cross-checked against the official Bare Acts published by the Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India.
Our case-law analyses are AI-assisted drafts anchored to primary sources — the published judgment and the relevant Bare Act provision. We disclose this openly and rely on sampled quality checks plus prompt reader-reported corrections. We publish our full methodology, AI-usage disclosure, sourcing rules, corrections policy and limitations on our Editorial Standards page.
Read our editorial standardsMeet the Founder
IPC2BNS is built and run by Avneet Kumar Singla, an indie engineer who codes every part of this platform himself — the instant IPC ↔ BNS section converter, the 575+ section pages, the punishment calculator, FIR decoder, bail checker and the criminal-law quiz. When India replaced the 160-year-old Indian Penal Code with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on 1 July 2024, there was no clean, free tool to map an old section number to the new one — so he built it.
In the interest of honesty: Avneet is a CA Intermediate from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) — he is not a fully-qualified Chartered Accountant, not a practising lawyer, and holds no law degree. His core expertise is the finance, GST, Income-Tax, Companies-Act and procedural-deadline side of Indian law, plus the structure of the new criminal codes (BNS, BNSS, BSA) as a tool-builder. The IPC→BNS mappings are cross-checked against the official Bare Act in the Gazette of India; case-law explainers are AI-drafted and then curated by him against the Bare Acts and verifiable precedents.

Data Integrity & Limitations
Our IPC↔BNS section mappings reference the official Bare Act of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 (as notified in the Gazette of India). Case-law summaries cite published judgments of the Supreme Court of India and reported decisions of High Courts. We update the platform when amendments are notified or when landmark judgments interpret BNS provisions.
