I have downloaded and checked the GADM boundaries (my version is 2011). The taluka boundary layer probably holds good today, becuase few talukas get split. Districts get split regularly (every so many years) so the district boundary layer in this GADM set is quite of date (may apply to 2001 or so). The spatial registration (positional accuracy is ~1km, and the spatial detail is of course not as good as the boundaries given in a Survey of India 50k topo, but then that is an unfair standard, so by a more generalized standard, the quality is okay.
