Under section 336(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, what offence is committed by making a false document with intent to support a claim or title?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 336(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 defines forgery to include making a false document with intent to support a claim or title.

Section 335 separately states when a person is said to make a false document.

Option feedback

Option A

Mischief requires property destruction or a qualifying change to property under section 324. That is not the offence defined here.

Option B

Criminal breach of trust under section 316 requires entrustment or dominion followed by dishonest conversion or misuse. Those elements are not stated.

Option C

Making a false document with intent to support a claim or title is expressly included in section 336(1).

Option D

Fabricating false evidence under section 228 requires an intent to cause an erroneous opinion on a material point through use of the fabrication as evidence in a proceeding. The stated intent alone does not establish that offence.
