How to Buy a Licensed Gun in India

Owning a real firearm in India is a privilege granted through a strict process. Here is how it works and how we fit in.

Step 1 — Check eligibility

You must be an Indian citizen, 21 or older, of sound mind with no criminal record, and show a genuine reason: sport shooting, crop protection or self-defence. Applications go to your district licensing authority (usually via the NDAL portal or collector's office).

Step 2 — Documents & verification

• Identity + address proof, photographs
• Proof of genuine reason (club membership, land records, threat perception)
• Medical fitness certificate
• Police verification and background check

Step 3 — Wait, then buy

Timelines run from a few months to over a year depending on the state. Once the license booklet is issued with your approved bore, you may purchase — e.g. a .32 revolver, .45 pistol or 12-bore shotgun from our licensed range. The purchase is entered on your license; ammunition quotas apply.
