Why the criminal-law guides had to be rewritten

The Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Indian Evidence Act were replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam with effect from 1 July 2024. Section numbers moved, some offences were redefined and new ones were added. Most legal content online still cites the old numbering, so a guide that says "IPC 420" is either out of date or is deliberately mapping the old section to its successor. Every criminal guide here works from the current codes and says which old section it corresponds to.

Read the guide, then read the section

The most useful habit when researching any Indian legal or tax question is to follow a claim back to its source — the bare Act, the rule, or the official notification or circular. Summaries go stale, and tax thresholds in particular change every year. Anything that quotes a figure without an assessment year attached should be treated as unverified. That is why the guides here carry citations: not for decoration, but so you can check whether what you are reading still holds.

Where general guidance stops being enough

Reading is enough to understand your position, prepare questions and avoid obvious mistakes. It is not enough where facts are contested, where a limitation period is running, where criminal provisions apply, or where the amount at stake exceeds what professional advice would cost. Guides describe the general rule; a professional applies it to your particular facts, which is where most of the value sits. Use the reading to have a shorter and better-informed conversation, not to replace it.

Statutory figures change annually

Tax content decays faster than any other kind. Slab rates, the section 87A rebate, standard deduction, capital-gains rates and exemption limits, TDS thresholds and GST registration limits are all revised periodically, and a figure that was correct two assessment years ago is simply wrong now. When you find a number anywhere — here or elsewhere — check which assessment year it is stated for before you rely on it, and prefer the department's own notification for anything material.

Start with the question you actually have

The guides are organised by area of law, but most people arrive with a situation rather than a category — a notice, a deadline, a document to sign, a dispute. If you have a document in hand, the notice decoder will tell you what it is and what it wants. If you need a number, the free calculators run the computation directly. Reading around the topic is more useful once you know which question you are answering.
