No, it is not legal for a mother and her son to have a sexual relationship in India.

Moreover, you can be charged with an attempt to rape under Section 376 and Section 511 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, if your mother objects to the same. You may be jailed immediately. So, you should understand the law and refrain from committing any such acts.
