The National Policy for Children, 2013, explicitly defines a child as any person below the age of 18 years. This aligns with the definition of a child used in various international conventions like the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which India is a signatory to, and national laws like the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.
Policies and laws in India generally define a child as a person up to the age of 18 years.
