Yellow fever certificate

Arriving from Pakistan, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Pakistan as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.

Driving on a Pakistan license

Pakistan is party to the 1968 Vienna Convention and India to the 1949 Geneva Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges India to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Pakistan.

Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
