The Government of India enacted three new laws to replace its colonial-era criminal laws. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) replaces the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) replaces the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) replaces the Indian Evidence Act (IEA). These new laws are effective from July 1, 2024. This was done to modernise the legal framework considering advancement in technology, economic offences and structured crimes.
