Hello,

1) It is not illegal to have multiple Driving Licenses from different states in India, provided they are obtained legally after having complied with requirements to obtain them.

2) The legality may be questioned if the owner of the licenses misuse them for any illegal gains.

A driving licence obtained in any one state is a permission to drive all over India, then what for you hold plenty of DLs of many states, if it is used for illegal purpose or obtained by illegal means, then it can be considered as crime.
