12 bore pump action shotguns(barrel length not shorter than 20") are considered as NPB single barrel shotguns for the purpose of Arms Act 1959/Arms Rules 1962(AFAIK Arms Act 1959/Arms Rules 1962 have not separately defined pump action shotguns), hence civilians are allowed to own 12 bore pump action shotguns. License should have endorsement for like NPB shotgun/rifle NPB gun or NPB shotgun or SBBL gun/shotgun etc.
Since 12 bore pump action shotguns(barrel length not shorter than 20") are considered as NPB single barrel shotguns for the purpose of Arms Act 1959/Arms Rules 1962, any manufacturer having the license to manufacture single barrel 12 bore shotguns should not have any legal problem manufacturing 12 bore pump action shotguns.
