Forgery under section 336(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita principally concerns the making of which material, with one of the specified wrongful intentions?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 336(1) makes the making of "False documents or false electronic records, including parts of them" the central act of forgery, together with a specified intention such as causing injury, supporting a claim or committing fraud; section 335 explains when a document or electronic record is false. "Movable goods alone, without any false document or electronic record", "Bodily injuries alone" and "Spoken claims of identity alone, without any false document or electronic record" do not supply this documentary element.
