Property offences under the BNS include theft, robbery, cheating, fraud, and related offences.
Property offences under the BNS
Chapter 4 covers theft, robbery, cheating, fraud, criminal breach of trust and other offences that affect property rights. The chapter also explains how the BNS treats dishonesty and deception differently from offences that harm the body.
Why the chapter matters for section mapping
Because the BNS reorganised property offences into a separate chapter, this page is useful when an old IPC citation involves cheating, fraud or property loss. It points you to the right cluster of BNS sections rather than forcing you to search the whole code from scratch.
