IPC

BNS
33
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 95 dealt with “Act causing slight harm”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 33 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
