Yes, it is perfectly legal to have multiple bank accounts as long as you declare all of them and the income earned through interest from those banks in your yearly tax return statements and filings. The income tax department does not prohibit you from having multiple accounts but prohibits you from hiding/not disclosing them during your annual tax returns.
