The IPC is one of the four pillars of India's judicial system, along with the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and the Indian Evidence Act. The IPC defines civil law rights and responsibilities, and outlines the process for resolving civil disputes. 
The IPC is divided into 23 chapters and 511 sections. It covers all people of Indian origin, except for the military and other armed forces. 
The IPC was based on the English law, and also borrowed elements from the Napoleonic Code and the Louisiana Civil Code of 1825.
