Critical analysis on Overlap between the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 in Regulating Cyber Offences: A Critical Legal Analysis

Abstract The nature and extent of criminal activity have changed dramatically as a result of society's rapid digitalization. Due to the extensive use of the internet, digital payments, and social media platforms, cybercrimes like identity theft, online fraud, hacking, cyber harassment, and financial frauds have become more common in India. The Information Technology Act, 2000, which establishes penalties for various cyber-related crimes and gives legal recognition to electronic transactions, is the main piece of legislation governing cyber offenses in India. The Indian Penal Code was recently replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which contains several provisions pertaining to identity theft, fraud, and communication-based offenses that may also be applicable in cyberspace. Because of this overlap, cybercrimes may be covered by both statutes at the same time, creating a complicated legal framework. The current study evaluates the need for harmonization within India's cybercrime regulatory framework, critically analyses the overlapping provisions of the Information Technology Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and considers their practical implications for law enforcement and judicial interpretation. The study comes to the conclusion that although having these laws together strengthens the legal framework against cybercrime, more precise legislative coordination is required to prevent confusion and guarantee efficient enforcement.
