107
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 305 dealt with “Abetment of suicide of child or person of unsound mind”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 107 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
