Prashant ji and Satish ji Cassia alata and C. didymobotrya look similar but former has much larger leaflets reaching often more than 5 cm long, whereas latter has usually shorter leaflets (less than 5 cm); stipules are 6-9 mm long and persistent in C. alata, but 10-25 mm long in C. didymobotrya. The clinching feature is winged fruits of C. alata. In this photo the leaflets look definitely much longer than flowers (in C. didymobotrya leaflets not much longer than flowers in photographs I saw on the net), although stipules also look much larger (like C. didymobotrya). Satish ji, if you some photographs showing fruits it could clinch the issue.
