I'm turning 25 in few days and want to know the maximum eligible amount of term life insurance i can take.

I already have INR 2 cr coverage at a premium of 25k per year.
But now based on updated salary want to increase my coverage.

2 crore term life insurance cover is typical for ppl with around 10-15 lakh itr so unless your income is now 20-25 Lakh+ in itr I doubt any major provider will approve another term insurance policy with large amount.

Keep it in this range only, higher the claim, harder they try to decline it. Go above this if you have a major hike only

But they can't decline for any reason after 3 years of premium payment right as per IRDAI? Pls correct me if I am wrong

I think 2 cr is sufficient for next 10 years

Ideally coverage should be increased when you have new debts and not when you have rise in salary.

Depends on your income documents...

Do not keep al your eggs in one basket. So next term plan should be from a diff insurer. Unless you are already married with kids, 2 Cr is adequate for a 25 yr old. You can add 50L after marriage and another 50L for each child.
