Extraterritorial jurisdiction extends to citizens, Indian-registered vessels, and acts targeting Indian computer resources under the new penal code.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is the short title and permits staged commencement by central notification. It makes persons liable under the Sanhita for acts or omissions within India and extends its reach extraterritorially so that persons liable under existing law for offences beyond India are dealt with as if acts occurred within India. The Sanhita applies to Indian citizens abroad, persons on Indian-registered ships or aircraft, and persons outside India who commit offences targeting computer resources located in India; "offence" includes acts outside India punishable if committed in India.
