Indian Penal Code, 1860

Section 243

repealed

Possession of Indian coin by person who knew it to be counterfeit when he became possessed thereof

Why this exists

This section again mirrors the previous one but imposes a stiffer maximum sentence — seven years instead of three — because the counterfeit coin involved is specifically Indian coin, consistent with the law's pattern of treating offences against India's own currency more seriously than counterfeit coin in general.
