IPC 175 in BNS: Section 210
Omission to produce document to public servant by person legally bound to produce it
IPC

BNS
210
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 175 dealt with “Omission to produce document to public servant by person legally bound to produce it”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 210 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
