Providing false marital status

Yes suppression of material facts, cheating and forgery by fabricating documents for wrongful gains are offences punishable severely under IPC provisions.

Thank you for the reply... What is the punishment if someone hides his/her marital status while applying for a job. Does it amount to forgery or does it amount to cheating? 

For providing false evidence or cheating or suppressing the material fact the punishment may be with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.

1) I am understanding that when you say material facts it is talking about person's MARITAL status (married or unmarried), please correct me if i am wrong.

2) Legally what is difference between supressing information and providing false information.

3) Is both providing false information and supresing information same offence? Please suggest.

Suppressing material information is voluntarily withholding information about you which is material for deciding the current subject; giving false information is telling something which is not there for wrongful gains;  both are punishable under law but depends on the circumstances of the case.
