Arms Licence

Arms License

A license or permit to carry arms is issued by a government agency that allows the licensees to purchase, own, possess or transport a firearm. There are often restrictions or conditions attached. Arms Rules, 2016, require that the UIN (Unique Identification Number) be included on any Arms Licence issued to the Licencing Authority. An Arms Licence issued without the UIN will not be valid, and it must be given to licensees and not to individuals. The UIN is required for all types of licensees: individuals, institutions, Arms Dealers, Arms Manufacturers, Sports associations, etc.

To retain the Arms Licence's validity, all licensees must contact their Licencing Authority to obtain a UIN. The Arms Act 1959, an Act of Parliament of India, is an Act to consolidate and modify laws relating to arms and ammunition to curb illegal weapons and violence with illicit weapons. Please note, it is illegal to own a firearm for hunting or collecting animals for sport or food. For the arms licence process, a request for a license is made to licensing authorities and is accompanied, if applicable, by a fee.
