ROTFL
In India People are not able to get decent firearms legally, you want to own Cannon?? Watch some video on YouTube and make one yourself and don't tell anybody about it.

if you are asking about the Display piece people use to keep at gates of their mansion then yes its legal b.coz it will not shot a projectile so not fell in fire arms category. but not a working artillery in any way is legal here.

A working Artillery/field Gun ( cannon) is not permitted to citizens to own. In Rajasthan many craft dealers are selling the Brass and Cast iron Models but that is only a replica. these never have the Internal zig zag metal strip forged layers, top and barrel construction etc. if any one tried to fill these pieces with powder and shot I am sure that they will blast with the Charge Pressure. Some Royal families still have some antique pieces that they occasionally fire but I am sure that is without a Ball or Projectile and only purpose will be the cannon Blast Effect.

i think GSR 991 allows people to own toy cannons that create blast effect and sometimes shoot small balls. but i don't know gsr 991 is still legal or not cause government bans .22 air rifles.
