The revised Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, 2023 (BNS) has modified Section 113, aligning it with the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, broadening the definition of a 'terrorist act' to include threats to economic security and monetary stability while excluding intimidation of the general public or disturbance of public order. The latest BNS Bill drops proposed fines of Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh for various terrorist acts, leaving the court to determine the penalty.
