Hello goldy_bansal,
There is a thread about just what your looking for in the Legal section. Please search there. So as not to cause you unneccessary apprehension, yes you can carry a licensed handgun on board a plane flying from one place in India to another, in your checked in, declared baggage after you inform the concerned airline and get their approval. This is explained in detail elsewhere as I mentioned above.
Regards,
Anand

One tip-get to the airport atleast 2 hrs ahead of the check in, to ensure the clerks and airport security have time to process your firearms carriage.
