Swagat ji Epilobium laxum appears to be most logical conclusion. However, please keep watch on flowers colour. Your photograph and one on Flowers of India both have light pink flowers, whereas this species is supposed to have bright rose purple flowers (also see Flowers of Himalayan by Polunin and Stainton). The species is very common in Himalayas, and soon we may have some member uploading specimens with bright rose purple flowers. Then perhaps we can compare and decide.
