Neutral in electricity in India is the zero current phase wire that provides a return path to the current. If it is a 3-phase star connection then the common point to which all the phases are connected becomes the neutral. It may or may not have a ground potential depending on phase balance. Generally neutral has zero potential as all the phases are 120 electrical degrees apart and thus electrically balanced. But in casee of a fault the neutral voltage may exceed the ground potential which may be harmful. Therefore it is preferred to ground the neutral to avoid accidents.
