New License granted in Delhi in 2022 and 2023

[Mk621]

Hi All

Wanted to know if anyone has been granted new license in Delhi in 2022 and 2023..under any category.
my application is pending already for 9 months now and no expected timeline is there.

Thanks in advance
MK

You are not alone, mine is pending under heirloom category since March 21. Apparently it's waiting for the relevant authorities to give me time for a interview.
Unfortunately in India there is no concept of turn around time, everything works on whims and fancies of select few.

Send reminders by registered post .By doing so you are asserting that you are on the right timeline and your licensing authority is not doing his duty as per law. By sending reminders, at a later stage if your licensing authority dismisses your application for no genuine reason, you can win your case on appeal. Moreover have guts to challenge the inordinate delay. Any application has to be decided within 90 days or else it is deemed granted by law. it is high time we challenge all these inactions. JAI HIND

Yes Agree. I read in ARMS act that the entire process should take a maximum of 60+ 90 days ( 60 days for Police verification and 90 days for licensing office to process. I went to office personally to enquire, there is an office sitting at the PRO counter somewhat in his 50's.. he responded very rudely to me saying - abhi wait karo. time lagega. he said due to corona there is too much backlog. even renewals are pending. i don't know what they are doing.

can u tell what is the next steps or flowchart of process.. do they call for interview in all cases ( transfer/ Hierloom/ Inheritance/ fresh ) and what all questions are expected in interview.. (pls do discuss along with their best possible answers)

The authorities are always looking out for reasons NOT to issue arms licensed...it took me approx an year to get mine ...the one only way to make them hear you plea is just standing on their head demanding explanations every now and then ..thts what worked out for me...uncountable visits to the CP office....if you applied under heirloom they can not reject your application unless you do not have complete documentation...

simply give three reminders by registered post each 15 days apart. than go to Delhi High Court in cwjc. arms rules 2016 is best guide.
