There's no legal infirmity in sending the legal notice by an advocate without mentioning his license number.

As per new directions of Bar Council of India it is mandatory that license number must be written on letter head of advocate who is sending legal notice.

While not always explicitly required, including the license number is generally considered good professional practice and demonstrates a commitment to ethical and transparent legal communication.
