BG 4.17: The intricacies of action are very hard to understand. Therefore one should know properly what action is, what forbidden action is, and what inaction is.
In the above verse Krishna talks about three kind of action namely Karma (action) (Puniya), Akarma (inaction) , Vikarma (forbidden action)(paap). now let us further analysis these three.
Karma(Action) (Puniya) : acting according to the modes of nature one has aquired which is prescribed in shastras. e.g duties mentioned in Karma-Kanda section of vedas. This kind of action has frutitive reaction. e.g elevation to heavenly planet.
Akarma ( Inaction) : work in Krishna Consciousness (selfless devotional service to Krishna) . Results will be elevation to spiritual world.
Vikarma(forbidden action) (Paap): sinful action that is rejected or stated criminal by shastras. result of this kind of action is hellish life.
In nutshell puniya karma is action performed according to regulation of scriptures and paapa karma is action that is forbidden in scriptures.And yes its exist that is why we suffer good results and bad results according to our work.
