CEO Approval For More Than Two .In Domain Registrations Is For “National Security” Reasons: NIXI. The .IN registry now restricts domain registrations to a maximum of 2 domains per individual registrant or 100 per registered accredited company. If you exceed these limits without registry approval your domains may be subject to deletion in the future

I don't, but what happens if an individual already has more than 2 .in domains?

Not sure. There is no information regarding this but GoDaddy has started to issue warnings while registering .in domains. They have also update the same in their website https://in.godaddy.com/help/about-in-domains-5835

Registrars showing warnings or not makes no difference. If this gets in effect, it will be the registry that will take the domains from users and not the registrar.

Having said that,
I could never understand the approach 'hand hurts -> cut the hand '.
Since this whole thing is about security, they should work harder to keep their zone more secure instead of hurting their users.

There was me thinking that there wasn't a way to share domains amongst people fairly but I hadn't thought of that way.

However... I'm CERTAIN that there will be people that get to go beyond the limits for no decent reason whatsoever... Probably some politicians, big corps. There's corruption behind every corner.

They'll probably say that someone gets to have 15k names cause of climate change or to fight X cause.
