229
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 193 dealt with “Punishment for false evidence”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 229 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
