Arms License

Overview

An Arms License is issued at the discretion of the Deputy Commissioner, ICT. A citizen cannot claim an arms license as a legal right. If the issuance of arms licenses is not regulated through policy, it may lead to violence in society. Therefore, a ban has currently been imposed on the issuance of new licenses to the general public. As a result, the Citizen Facilitation Center (CFC) is not accepting any new applications for arms licenses.
