The Arms Act, 1959 does not provides any minimum age for eligibility for arms license, it only prohibits of acquisition or possession by, or of sale or transfer to, young persons under section 9 where the age limit is sixteen years. The Arms Rules, 1962 provides age limit for training and target practice Any person below the age of sixteen years but not below the age of twelve years may be allowed to use a fire-arm for the purpose of training in the use of such fire-arm in the immediate presence, or under the direct supervision and guidance of an adult instructor or the licensee:
Provided that no person below the age of sixteen years shall be allowed carry and firearm requiring a license, in a public place, except in the immediate presence and supervision of the person who is lawfully entitled to carry such firearm.
Thus we can say the minimum age eligibility for Arms license in India is sixteen years.
