It looks like a chough, Arwadoo, but I don't know which types are native to your region.

British choughs have red beaks. Where did you see it? The alpine chough has red legs and a yellow beak but I don't think there are any in India.

Yes there are choughs in India Steragram and they have yellow bills.

At last, the 'I Spy a Bird' site has been down for a couple of days but is now back. This is the url for it:

I have just done my own web search and I see that the chough that we are familiar with in the European Alps extends its territory westwards to include India - where it is called the 'Yellow Billed Chough'
