      Maximum punishment for the offence of cheating under Section 420 IPC is imprisonment up to 7 years and also fine.

      However, generally the punishment that is actually awarded for an offence under Section 420 IPC is much less than this maximum limit. Usually, imprisonment ranging from one year to three years is awarded as the punishment for this offence.
