Actions which are done in terms of the prescribed duties mentioned in the revealed scriptures (Vedas) are called Karma. And actions which make one free from the cycle of birth and death is called Akarma. And actions which are performed according to one's misuse of freedom and thereby putting himself in the lower regions living conditions are called Vikarma.

Let’s examine these and related terms in light of the different kinds of varnasrama(The four statuses and orders of human society—brähmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and südras, as wall as brahmacaris, grhasthas, vänaprasthas and sannyäsis.
Karma can mean any activity—prescribed, sinful, or transcendental. But a more specific definition is work prescribed by scripture for one’s varna. Such work brings material rewards. The work of persons who follow the materialistic system of varnäsrama is karma.
Vikarma means work against the laws of God, and it brings punishment.
Akarma means work as an offering to Krishna. Such work produces no material reward or punishment but leads to spiritual liberation. Akarma activities are the goal of the original, or daiva, varnasrama system.
