Section 467 IPC Punishment

2

Section 467 is an important part mentioned under the chapter 18th of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, titled “Offenses related to the property and the documents.” Section 467 basically deals with forgery of a valuable security or a will etc. but before going further first, we need to understand the meaning of the term “Forgery.” So basically it’s a kind of white-collar crime which is generally referring to the false making of any legal data with the mala-fide intention to defraud a person other than himself or herself. The offence is not an offence until the false document or legal instrument was actually used in the commission of a crime to defraud the person other than himself or herself. The Person who does it can be punished by the Indian government. It can also be charged fine and sent to jail.
