According to Advocate Awadhesh Kumar it is not.
"The air weapons were exempted vide Notification No.GSR 991 dated 13.7.1962 as per S.
No. 3 of Schedule II of the said notification. The said entry still exists and has not been
withdrawn by the Central Government in the Ministry of Home Affairs. Since the
exemption under section 41 of the Arms Act, 1959 is still being continued; the provisions
contained in the Arms Rules, 2016 will have no consequential effects till the withdrawal of
