Answer 1

You can use this rule as very first rule in your /subfolder/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?domain\.in$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://subfolder.domain.in/$1 [NE,R=302,L]

Or else:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(domain\.in)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://subfolder.%1/$1 [NE,R=302,L]

Answer 2

Using the following .htaccess file might work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.in [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.in$1 [L,R=301]
RedirectMatch 301 ^/subfolder/(.*)$ http://subfolder.domain.in/$1
