Indian Penal Code, 1860

Section 240

repealed

Delivery of Indian coin, possessed with knowledge that it is counterfeit

Why this exists

This section mirrors the previous one but again applies the law's consistently harsher treatment of offences specifically involving Indian coin, doubling the maximum sentence from five years to ten years to reflect the greater harm to the national currency system when the fraud specifically involves counterfeit Indian money.
