IPC

BNS
155
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 127 dealt with “Receiving property taken by war or depredation”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 155 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
