A nominal roll is usually not considered a "valuable security" under Section 30 IPC unless it’s forged with intent to deceive or misuse. It’s more of an internal service document. If it is altered or misused, Section 465/467 IPC (forgery) may apply depending on intent and content. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
