Editorial deltaAI-indicated (source-linked)
BSA 61 reframes IEA 65A's procedural pointer to a substantive non-discrimination clause. IEA 65A was a one-line rule that the contents of electronic records may be proved in accordance with s.65B. BSA 61 establishes that Nothing in this Adhiniyam shall apply to deny the admissibility of an electronic or digital record in the evidence on the ground that it is an electronic or digital record, and such record shall, subject to s.63 (the BSA successor of IEA 65B), have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as other documents. The framing shifts from a procedural pointer to a substantive non-discrimination rule.
Transitional note (repeal & savings)
For matters initiated before 1 July 2024, IEA 65A continues to apply. For matters from that date forward, BSA 61 applies. The transition is governed by the repeal-and-savings clause in the new code (BNS 358 / BNSS 531 / BSA 170 as the case may be); pending proceedings under the old code carry forward unaffected.
