Explanation using Example
Imagine a scenario where Raj pretends to be his brother, Vijay, to take a bank loan. He uses Vijay's identification and forges his signature to complete the loan process. The bank, believing Raj to be Vijay, grants the loan. Later, when the fraud is discovered, Raj can be charged under Section 419 of The Indian Penal Code for cheating by personation. If convicted, he could face imprisonment for up to three years, a fine, or both.
