Question map
A passenger travelling by Air wishes to carry his licenced Revolver. He can carry it
Explanation
According to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) guidelines and the Aircraft Rules, passengers are strictly prohibited from carrying firearms or ammunition in their cabin baggage for safety and security reasons. However, a passenger holding a valid arms license is permitted to carry a licensed weapon, such as a revolver, in their hold baggage (checked-in baggage).
The passenger must declare the firearm at the airline check-in counter. The airline staff verifies the license and ensures the weapon is unloaded and packed securely. Most Indian carriers (like IndiGo or Air India) charge an additional handling fee for firearms. Option B is correct as it reflects the standard procedure. Option A is incorrect because weapons are banned in cabins. Option C is incorrect as individual clearance from the DGCA is not required for licensed owners; the airline handles the process. Option D is not the standard procedure for civilian passengers.
