No, a booster after 1 year is NOT routinely recommended.
If you completed the full 3-dose Hepatitis B schedule and your immunity is normal, no booster is needed for many years.
Booster is only advised if:
Your anti-HBs antibody level is <10 mIU/mL, or
You are high-risk (health-care worker, dialysis patient, etc.).

No the booster dose after 1 year is not recommended according to NIS / IAP guidelines, as it provides enough immunity for the lifetime duration but exceptionally it is given for immunocompromised children
Next Steps
Check your anti hepB antibody levels if they are less then 10 after complete schedule you might need another booster
