License cannot be transferred, instead the weapons on license can be transferred to you if you also have license. Hence apply for firearm license under family heirloom category. Once you get license follow the procedures to get the weapons transferred on to your license.

Please avoid using capital letters as it is considered equal to shouting on this board. Also please do not create duplicate copy of same thread in various sections, it is unnecessary and you may delete them.

No problem, no need to apologize. Arms licenses are usually issued for self defense, sport, crop protection and family heirloom. You have to choose under which option you want to go with. In arms license application there is question about "need for license", you can mention "family heirloom" as reason. When the license is issued under family heirloom, it is issued to the legal heir, subject to no objection by other legal heirs. Normally the scope of legal heirs is extended to husband, wife, son and daughter. For "family heirloom" you may refer to "iii) Grant of Licences under family heirloom" in the letter by Ministry of Home Affairs, sent to Home Secretaries of all States and Union Territories. I am referring the link from where you can download the copy of that letter: http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/ArmsPoss(E)130510.pdf If the link is not working, just copy the entire link and paste in new browser window, it will work.

Hi , have you been able to get the license transfered.. pls help with process

It appears that you had written about your situation at http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15316 that the Licensing Authority was sleeping on your file for seven months, then he had a dream that arms license is matter of "threat" or "no threat" and had rejected your application and now similarly the Appellate Authority is sleeping on your file for seven months.

And at http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15380 you had expressed your desire to approach High Court.

If you want to make an attempt to try awaken the Appellate Authority, before approaching High Court, you may give an attempt by doing an RTI application. A sample RTI application is available here http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10826 Besides this I do not think there is any other way than getting a writ from High Court directing the Licensing Authority to do its job as per law within the specified time in the writ.

from the india.gov.in website ..wondering if this is correct ??>>>

Transfer of Arms License can be done on two conditions - a) When the original licencee is alive- 1. During his life-time, the licencee may transfer the arms licence to legal heirs by making an application in plain paper. 2. The person to whom licence is to be transferred shall apply on Form A. b) When the original licencee has expired- 1. Application shall be made in Form A. 2. No objection from the legal heirs, in the form of an affidavit sworn before a magistrate. 3. Two passport size photographs.
