INDIA CODE

The register holds dated texts. A date set here selects the text it holds for that day, on the pages that hold one.

Register of Indian law

India Code 2.0

The law is spread across many documents. This register keeps them in one place, linked, and shows what each one said on any date.

A demonstration set of laws. Most of what the register holds it composed itself, and every composed instrument, section and search result says Synthetic on its face. What is held whole from an issuer's copy is a careful reproduction, not official Gazette wording.

Arranged four ways

1Dictionary

Every word the law defines, in one index. Open a word and see every definition side by side, with its scope words, and everywhere it is used.

Example

person

defined in the General Clauses Act and in many others

2Shelf

The law arranged by power: subject, Act, the sections instruments were made under, and the instruments beneath each, with the amending Acts once under Amendments.

Arranged by

power

three panes; every row a link

3By code

Every instrument and every section has a six-character code, and the code is the address. Any citation form goes to it; the page lists every dated text.

Example

S10-6PK

section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017

4Duties

Records published by departments, each with its own code, by addressee and by department, shown on the section it is published under. Every record here is synthetic and says so.

Example

every registered person

as the Board could publish it

Held whole, and read by machines

The goods and services tax layer and the General Clauses Act are held whole from their issuers' copies, every section with its dated texts. Every central Act in force is present by its real title, number and year; where its text is not yet held it is generated and labelled synthetic. A model reads the same pages through the connector.
