Our mission is to make that transition frictionless and free — through an instant search converter, 575+ section pages, plain-language case-law analyses and downloadable reference charts.

The Editorial Team
All content on IPC2BNS is published under the collective byline of the Nyaya Yantra Editorial Team. The team is composed of legal researchers and writers who cross-check every section mapping against the official Bare Acts published by the Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India.
Our case-law analyses are researched against primary sources — the published judgment and the relevant Bare Act provision — and then verified by an editor before publication. We publish our full methodology, sourcing rules, corrections policy and limitations on our Editorial Standards page.

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.
