Punishment for Rape in India sec 376 IPC

Sec 376 IPC is bit confusing: Read the India Today Article:
Rape and Sexual Offences: Crime and Punishment in India:

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/rape-and-sexual-offences-crime-and-punishment-in-india/1/238406.html

For Sec 376: rape:  maximumum punishment is life imprisonment or ten years (applicable only when the victim is under twelve years old and not one's wife).
Normal punishment is two years or fine or both.
