I do not know if a more knowledgeable member can date this more precise (by looking at how it is made, etc.), but this is a badge for the post 1922 16th Light Cavalry (pre 1922 there was a 16th Cavalry).
After 1950, when India became a republic, the design was changed. The new badge having the "Lions of Ashoka" instead of the KC.
