In Jainism, nokarma (also spelled as "no-karma") refers to activities or actions that are not directly binding new karma to the soul. These are generally actions that do not have a significant moral consequence, meaning they are neither meritorious (punya) nor demeritorious (paap).

The concept is often contrasted with karmic actions, which result in the accumulation of karma and thereby bind the soul to the cycle of birth and death (samsara). Nokarma activities are considered neutral—they do not have a positive or negative karmic effect.

For example, routine bodily functions like sleeping, breathing, or blinking are generally considered nokarma, as they are necessary for the body's maintenance and are not performed with attachment, aversion, or intention to harm or help.

In summary, nokarma in Jainism refers to neutral actions that do not result in the bondage of karma to the soul.
