Accordingly, the following procedure shall be followed to reduce the time taken in issuance of such licence:
 
i)          Application for import of sports weapons by ‘Renowned Shooters’ shall be made to the concerned RA of DGFT. The list of RAs of DGFT along with their addresses and jurisdiction has been provided in Appendix 1 of HBPv1. A copy of this Appendix is available on DGFT website at www.dgft.gov.in.
 
ii)         On receipt of application, concerned RA shall send a copy of the application to Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs, Shastri Bhavan, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road, New Delhi for their comments. After receipt of comments from the aforementioned Ministry, RA shall issue licence to the applicant.
 
i)          After issue of licence, RA shall forward a copy of licence to Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs, New Delhi with reference to their written recommendation for information.
