(Fatwa: 293/293=M/1429)

You should say in reply of greetings from a Hindu: وعلیک  or ھداک اللہ as it is mentioned in Durr-e-Mukhtar:

ولو سلم یھودی او نصرانی او مجوسی علی مسلم فلا باس بالرد و لکن لایزید علی قولہ و علیک کما فی الخانیۃ (الشامی: 9/591)

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best

Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband
