Section 316 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 deals with criminal breach of trust. Sub-section (1) (formerly section 405 IPC) defines it through entrustment or dominion over property followed by the prescribed dishonest misappropriation, conversion, use, disposal or wilfully permitted breach; sub-section (2) prescribes the general punishment of imprisonment up to five years, or fine, or both. The neighbouring sections given in the other options concern different offences (dacoity, misappropriation of a deceased person's property and belonging to a gang of robbers) and do not supply this definition.
