Hellow and welcome!

Can you tell us more about your turtles (age, size) and how do you keep them now (what kind of tank/aquarium, what lights and heating and how do you feed them)? Photos, of course, would be great!

But no basking would results in shell problems later Indian roofed turtles needs to bask frequently and they are not basking at all.

Do you know water temperature? Can they actually climb out of the water onto basking platform? Do you keep them outside with natural sun or use lamps of any kind?

Also, I'll ask for help from @DoubleD1996!

Where are you keeping them? Looks like a bathtub.
They need a heat source to bask. An artificial heat bulb and uvb bulb for proper shell growt, or natural sunlight, which can't be penetrated or filtered through a glass window.

What is the basking platform made of? Looks a little slippery in case it is plastic.

I was going to say what Double D said - that is, Do you have a light positioned over the landing dock/basking area? Also, the water should be a little cooler than the basking area to encourage them to climb out to get warmer.
