Thanks Arun. Yes indeed. It looks closer to F.arnottiana. The sharp cordate leaf base structure can be clearly seen and is not seen in F.rumphii and F. religiosa. Referred to this and i guess came to the conclusion that its indeed F. arnottiana.
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/m/moraceae/ficus/ficus-rumphii-1 "As per efi thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/Ficus$20AND$20arnottiana/indiantreepix/GQzzse-qyjU> : There are two key features in the leaves to distinguish: Leaf base is cordate and tail at tip shorter than 2.5 cm in *F. arnottiana*. In *F. religiosa* the leaf base is rounded to slightly cuneate and tail at tip much longer, usually longer than 3 cm and contributing about one third of leaf length. The leaves may be undulate and variously thick in both, depending on age. *F. rumphii* is similar to *F. religiosa *in leaf base being truncate or rounded, although tail is 1.5-2.5 cm long like *F. arnottiana*. Another interesting feature worth comparison is that *C. religiosa* has three basal veins (one midrib, two lateral), *F. rumphii* has 5 and *R. arnottiana* 7, in both latter lowermost pair is very faint. Trunk of *F. religiosa* is darker with reddish brown with scales peeling off where as* F. rumphii* is much brighter with grey or whitish colour and most often comparatively smoother."
