My Grandfather's Shotgun, Now my uncle is License Holder - Can I get it transferred? Uncle is 75 y.o

Hello,
I'm from Jalpaiguri, West Bengal. Our family gun, a 12 bore shotgun.
My grandfather owned a shotgun and eventually it was transferred to my uncle's name.
Now he's 75. He did not renew the gun license for couple of years.
My question to all the learned members of the forum is:
1. Can we renew the license now?
2. Can this license be transferred to my name? He's 70 and he's willing to do it. If yes, what are the steps?
3. If the license cannot be transferred, Can I apply for a new license in this category?
P.S - I'm 30. I'm in a salaried job. I have ITR. I cannot prove threat to life.
If possible, I'm willing to buy a .22 bore LR.
Any contacts in North Bengal would be a big help.
