Re: Licence for one edged sword in West Bengal ?
under the arms act, anything over 9inch and 2 inch wide needs arms license, unless exemption is made under section 4 of the arms act. you would need to check with your local LA for this.

It is not a question of exemption but a question of notification issued under Section 4 of Arms Act 1959.
