Indians For Guns

Dear Forum Members,

I've been living in Noida for over 10 years. I wish to apply for firearm license in Noida, Distt. Gautam Budh Nagar. Kindly advice where I can get the form from (Is this available online?), and where can I submit the form (Is this office open on Saturdays like normal Government offices?).

I plan to own a revolver. Any other advice is also welcome. I looked around the site, but could not get this information in older threads.

Regards,
M-Kay

Helps to google stuff before asking members to spend time doing the same for you:

The form should be available at the licensing authority's office.Usually your Police Commissioner's.

Dear only32owner, I'd seen the page which Safarigent suggested. Primarily local aspects such as address to the additional SSP city's office. Sometimes such offices are run from one place or another due to multiple charges with govt officers or transfers. At least this is the case in this part of country. It helps from hear frmo someone who's gone through the process locally. No offense meant to anyone. You can understand my point from enigmatic's reply.

Thanks enigmatic. That's very helpful. I'll try to follow these instructions and share my experience.

M-Kay

Ya only32owner, that applies to all of us.

Update: For Noida residents, need to submit application with residence proof etc in two sets for police and tehsil purpose. Also, needed to submit the affidavit of 10 rupees for both these sets.

I wasn't provided any receipt or application number by the clerk.

Mkay, thanks to you for coming back and updating the thread with your progress. Complete threads become assets of information and reference tools.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Documents asked to be submitted along with the form : Address proof, Photo Id, PAN card, last electricity bill, Last 3 Years IT return and 3 photographs. Don't understand whether i am appling for a bank loan or an arm license, i don't have an income to file an IT return is it a prerequisite to apply for an arm license.
Thanks & Regards

Dear bhupi, I think these are required as residence proof and address proof. I was not asked for all of these as I submitted my passport copy, and I'm staying at my current address for 6 years now.
