Correct me if I a wrong. 19*17 and 19* 18 are prohibited bores as per the arms act of 1959.
No they never were PB, neither they are PB. Don't confuse yourself. The firearms of Category I((b) and (c) of SCHEDULE - I of Arms Rules 1962 have been given a misleading name "prohibited bore" by clever
babus. The term "prohibited bore" does not exist in Arms Act 1959 or Arms Rules 1962. Please read this

Under the revision as per the gazette its npb if you fall under one of the three catogories
I do not have words to describe these
babus who have issued Notification without understanding or using their mind. When something is not prohibited under the law then question of issuing exemption from it does not arise. They were always in Category III(a) of SCHEDULE - I of Arms Rules 1962.
Even if by any stretch of some wild imagination they fall in Category I(c) of SCHEDULE - I of Arms Rules 1962, still no exemption is required. If one reads row number three of Schedule II of Arms Rules 1962, the only legal difference between Category I and III is that for Category I the licensing authority is MHA. The "Purpose" in column 2 is same for both, in other words the level of rights of applicant are same for both. Also the Form number III is common for both in column 8. The "Conditions" in column 9 are blank for both, meaning no special or extraordinary conditions are required under law for license for Category I firearms. The Schedule II can be read here
