Hi Aditya,

Getting Shapefiles for all of them will be difficult, but you should have a look at the River Basin Atlas released by India WRIS in 2012. The India-WRIS site isn't currently working, but the report is available from India Water Portal at: http://www.indiawaterportal.org/articles/river-basin-atlas-india-report-central-water-commission-and-indian-space-research

Hi Aditya,

You can check out the USGS Hydrosheds website. Click the link for data download on the left panel
They have basin shape files for each continent.
The shapefile for India looks something like this.
It shows the major river basins well, but not many of the sub-basins and this is particularly relevant for N and NE India, where it appears as though the Ganga and Brahmaputra are just one basin

Hi, Everyone 
I am coming here after a gap of many days. 

I have tried the data from this source http://www.waterbase.org/download_data.html

It is available for the entire world seems to be good. attached is a screen shot for the Indian region
You can get the dnnet.eoo for India from Digital Chart of the world and superimpose it.

Another screenshot of dnnet enclosed
