IPC

BNS
150
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 123 dealt with “Concealing with intent to facilitate design to wage war”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 150 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
