Summary
Adopts the meaning of "electronic record" from the Information Technology Act, 2000. That meaning covers any data, record or information generated, sent, received or stored in electronic form. So when the IPC refers to an electronic record, it uses the IT Act's scope and reach.
Example
Priya emails a scanned shop receipt to a customer, and later the receipt is needed in a theft inquiry. Because IPC adopts the IT Act definition of electronic record, that emailed copy will be treated as an electronic record for any IPC-related proceeding.
