Do I need a rabies vaccine?
I had completed rabies vaccine course on 8th April. Now on 2 consecutive days, the same cat scratched me (2nd & 3rd June).
Do I require any more dosage? I have washed the wounds thoroughly with soap and water.

No. You don't need more doses of Anti-rabies vaccine.
Please be careful about your health. Every time you may not be so lucky to get bitten by a "safe" cat.
