Looks real to me, but I might be wrong.

  It looks a real coin with wrong alignment to me; I guess India mints do make errors as I have one ...

  Yes mine is a different coin, and only has a 15 degree die rotation error.

In either case you may want to send this coin to a grading service as this is a rare date and if real should be very rare (=Rare+Error)
