hi,
my .22 licence has an ammo limit:maximum in one year=25
maximum to be possesed at any time =10
it can be increased by ADM or collector by giving an application with a valid reason.
licence issued for sports has a high ammo limit as compared to self-defence licence.

regards
raj

Run and get your quota increased to atleast 250/500. Which means 250 at a time and not more than five hundred in a year. Which is reasonably decent and then if you become a sports shooter you can have it increased to much more.

Why are you so worried Mr Rao,,wait for 2-3 day until you receive your booklet and it will be clearly mentioned over it.

What reasons could possibly be given for such an increase.obviously everyone has applied for a licence for self defence( i mean you cant quote hunting as in the OLDEN GOLDEN days).anyone who could suggest some workable reasons other than being renowed shooter which i am not.

there are two ways to do that.
1.get a temporary increase in your yearly quota by stating that you have consumed your 25 carts in testing and checking your weapon and you need more for your protection----this excuse have worked for many people.
2.get a permanent increase ---i have seen this thing happen to only sports shooters.
Disclaimer:none of the reasons stated above should be used as a legal advice.applicant would be fully responsible for consequences and not me!!!

Thanks Raj.think increase in ammo for self defense would be the simple reason to quote

If one is serious about using a firearm for self defence, then it is the responsibility of the licence holder to practice as much as any target shooter, if not more. A life is far more important than a medal, regardless of how prestigious that may be.

This is a valid and common sense reason for having an adequate ammo quota.

I totally agree with you sir.saving one's life is far more important than getting a medal.
