IPC

BNS
250
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 213 dealt with “Taking gift to screen an offender from punishment”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 250 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
