Travelling with Gun to India.

Post by shooter » Fri Apr 26, 2013 3:47 am

I wish to travel with my shotgun to india in my next trip.
This will be for approx. 15 days and in Nov.

Can anyone help me re: what conditions I need to fulfill and what paperwork I need to fill.

Please note this is not for TR and i will be taking it back with me.
Also note that I do not have an indian arms license.

Hi Shooter,

I'm going to watch this post with great interest ! I'm based in NZ and traveling to India in Aug too. Would be great to carry one of the babies over :)

I too am intrested in gaining knowledge about the process........
but whereas I think its not allowed.......because of the recent anti india activities......and the process also involves a lot of paperwork , harassment and palm greasing....though I am not sure.......not worth it......and for 15 days stay...there is no need to carry a gun...it would be better if you could avail the services of an armed guard......that would be cost effective and hassle free
