Section 109: omitted provision

Current status and amendment

The official India Code consolidation as on 1 June 2026 records omission by the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023 (18 of 2023), section 2 and Schedule, with effect from 1 August 2024.

• India Code: section 109 omission and amendment note (1 June 2026 consolidation)

What this means for a business

This former penalty provision is omitted. That status does not make all comparable conduct lawful or erase every possible liability under another provision or law. For older events, assess the relevant amendment, savings and applicable dates. Current section 107 and sections 112A–112B have their own distinct penalty framework.

Historical records and current decisions

The former subject was: Penalty for falsification of register entries. An omitted section number remains useful when tracing old records, but it must not be presented as an operative present-day rule.

Hypothetical example: An old compliance note quotes punishment under this section. The business identifies the date of the alleged conduct and obtains advice on the applicable current or historical law rather than repeating the omitted penalty.

Practical review steps

Record the dates of the conduct, application, order or proceeding.

Locate the official amendment and any applicable savings or transition provisions.

Identify the currently competent authority and the substantive provisions governing the specific issue.
