How the text was extracted
There are three methods, tried in order. sections builds the Act
from India Code's own section records, so each section is exactly as the
source defines it. text parses the Act's full text where section
records are missing or empty. none means neither worked; the Act
is still listed, with its details but no text.

Quality scores
Each Act is scored on checks that can be measured: whether every section has text, whether section numbers run in order, whether the section count matches the source, and whether sub-sections and clauses are nested correctly. Acts below 0.85 are not shown as full text.
| Score | Acts | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 0.95 – 1.00 | 823 | Assembled cleanly from source section records. |
| 0.85 – 0.95 | 6 | Published, with minor gaps in individual provisions. |
| 0.70 – 0.85 | 12 | Below threshold. Text withheld, metadata shown. |
| below 0.70 | 6 | Below threshold, usually because the source has no text. |
Acts without full text
18 Acts are below the threshold. In almost every case the cause is the source: India Code has the Act's record and section headings, but the section text is empty.
