BNS
8(6)(b)
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 69 dealt with “Termination of imprisonment on payment of proportional part of fine”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 8(6)(b) of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
