According to the Finance Ministry guidelines, confiscated non-prohibited weapons could be given to departmental officers on lease terms on a selective basis.
The circular also makes it clear that the weapons sold to sitting MPs could not be sold for a period of ten years.
Though some names appeared more than once in the list during a period between 1986 and 2000 given in the RTI reply, the 2002 circular says that only one weapon will be allotted to an MP from the confiscated stock.
No replacement will be permissible even in cases the first weapon allotted has either been lost or stolen or become defective or non-serviceable due to excessive use or obsolescence, the circular said.
