Under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (which replaces the space formerly occupied by Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860), whoever commits an offence endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India shall be punished with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine. Notably, unlike the former sedition provision (which allowed imprisonment for life or up to three years, or fine alone), Section 152 increases the alternative maximum term to seven years and makes fine mandatory in addition to imprisonment.
