Bare Acts › Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC)

Section 24

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

"Dishonestly"

The IPC 1860 was replaced by the BNS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 24 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 358, BNS 2023).

Whoever does anything with the intention of causing wrongful gain to one person or wrongful loss to another person, is said to do that thing "dishonestly".
