Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following is the punishment for counterfeiting a coin?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 178 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 232 IPC for Indian coin) punishes counterfeiting any coin with imprisonment for life or imprisonment of either description up to ten years, and also fine. Of the offered choices, ten years and fine correctly describes the fixed-term branch. It must not be mistaken for the complete maximum punishment, because the section also allows life imprisonment.
