Oral defamation, without record, is called slander and it is not an offence under IPC. You can only file a civil suit for damages.

Where as if the defamation is on record, (If recorded/video graphed/published) then it is punishable under section 499 IPC.

Printed and stick on public street wall or published can be punishable.
