- BNS's Section 1 includes six subsections corresponding to five sections in IPC, but lacks separate headings. IPC specifies the extent of its operation, which BNS does not.
- The commencement date for the BNS is delegated to the Central Government, a new feature absent in the IPC.
- BNS replaces the term "Code" with "Sanhita" consistently, maintaining the essence of reference throughout.
- Section 1(4) addresses the punishment for offences committed beyond India yet tried within; language modifications include changing "Indian laws" to "law" and adding specificity for current enforcement.
- Section 1(5) incorporates provisions for extraterritorial offences, with "any place outside India" replacing "Uganda" in examples.
- Section 1(6) reiterates provisions from IPC regarding certain laws remaining unaffected by the new Act.
Definitions and Organization
- Definitions in the IPC are dispersed across independent sections from 8 to 52A in Chapter II, making quick reference cumbersome.
