Me and my husband (Both Indonesian citizen) would like to visit India in March for Holiday. I don't have visa yet so I will be applying Tourist eVisa, but my husband already have a Business eVisa (multiple entry in 1 year - issued 3 months ago). Should my husband apply for a Tourist eVisa (So he will have 2 visa), or it should be good to use the Business eVisa for holiday?

Thanks.

In theory, the Business eVisa is for business purposes only, not tourism. However, the allowed business purposes are so broadly worded that virtually anything qualifies: if you buy a souvenir, you could argue that this is "trade" or "sales/purchases".

For technical and business meetings.
To set up Industrial or business venture.
To deliver lectures under Global Initiative for Academic Networks (GIAN).
For recruitment purposes.
For trade or sales / purchases.
To participate in exhibitions, business or trade fairs.

In practice, Indian immigration seems almost entirely concerned with whether you have a visa or not, I've never been questioned on arrival. So, personally speaking, I think you'll be fine with the business visa.
