Hello Ushadi Thank you so much for your inputs. My friend who had requested for ID of this tree, also had doubts about the tree being *Cochlospermum religiosum* because of the bark being full of lenticels. I think the tree needs to be revisited again for collecting more data and also for flower and fruit details to clarify the doubts about the ID.
