There is rapid emersion of the new technologies related to safe, economical, stable construction. In such a trend, earthquake has become one of the natural challenging factors for the efficient construction works. Every country has specific building design codes which provide the standards to engineers for the design of various structural components like beam, column and slab. RC building design of every country is based on their geographical location. Considering the main focus of this research work is to bring out differences and similarities between IS 1893 (part I):2016 and NBC 105:2020. The main focus is the relative gains and shortcomings of both buildings design codes under certain criteria like loading analysis, design analysis, ease of use and economical point of view. Comparison work has worked out on the basis of loading comparison like live load, dead load, and different parameters for various elements of the building such as beam, column and slab. This comparison investigates the design capacities for both building design codes. In present study RCC building models having G+8 stories with regular plan is considered for analysis. The analysis of model is done using equivalent static method and dynamic method in ETABS software. The responses of the building under the parameters like base shear, absolute displacement, drift, reinforcement in column and beam are compared for both codes. Based on the design base shear, NBC code showed a higher value compared with IS code because the design horizontal seismic force coefficient, base shear, and absolute displacement of NBC code is maximum than IS codes.
