In the view of Indian Governtment Bitcoin is Legal. Means if we trade Bitcoin from India is there any legal issues?  

Right suggestion only.
Yes bitcoin is still legal in India,but there is a serious discussion going on Indian government for regulating the bitcoins because Indian government realized that many people from India are earning huge money through crypto currency but no one is paying taxes for that income.Recently a central minister address about this issue in parliament.Since that there are lots of rumors created that India banned bitcoins but not yet maybe soon we have the official announcement from the Indian government.

The Indian Government has not taken any decision regarding the legality of bitcoins so it is wrong to say that bitcoin is legal in india. Government has constituted a committee to study the possible tax frame and whether the bitcoin should be regulated or not ? At the moment, you can trade into the bitcoins but government authorities may ask you to pay the tax on the income generated through trading of bitcoins.
