Confusion abt which handgun calibers can be bought on npb license( as there are some additions after arms act 2016)

[Ayush_3005]

Hello there,
I am seeing there's really alot of confusion abt various callibers that are they now npb or pb after the new arms rule 2016
So pls. Would the experts shed some light on which handgun calibers are npb after arms act 2016.....
P.s - the list should not only have calibers added npb in arms act 2016, instead the list should have all the callibers which one can currently buy on a npb license
Thanks in advance
Regards

In handguns only three calibers are PB, rest all are NPB.
PB calibers are 9mm (i.e 9x19mm), 38/200 revolver and .455 webley revolver.

Are 38/200 revolver and .455 webley revolver used by Indian Armed Forces? I have not heard of any such thing? If not then what could be the reason for them to be categorised as PB?

.22lr semi auto rifle is not Prohibited.

Sorry, my bad. Forgot to mention the exception of .22 LR semi auto rifle. A semi Auto Shotgun too is NP now. Still regret selling off my Auto-5 Browning when they suddenly brought in the restriction orders on it.

PS: wouldn't mind buying a .50 BMG if anyone has one to offer
