IPC Section 309 has no BNS equivalent
- IPC 309 (Attempt to commit suicide) → No BNS equivalentNot carried over: the BNS has no general offence of attempting suicide. §226 is a new, narrower offence (attempting suicide to compel or restrain a public servant).
Offences committed before 1 July 2024 are still charged and tried under the IPC; the BNS applies to offences on or after that date.
Old-to-new correspondence is indicative and not always one-to-one; read the new text itself.
