IPC 92 in BNS: Section 30
Act done in good faith for benefit of person without consent
IPC
92
BNS
30
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 92 dealt with “Act done in good faith for benefit of person without consent”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 30 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
