Respected Gurcharan Singh sir, This is surely from Impatiens scabrida complex and will say Impatiens tricornis for now.
See the plant is much hairy with pubescent lateral sepals also upper lobe of lateral united petal is much wider and there is no streaked red color in throat only rusty spots are present. As this plant is photographed much earlier flowering in May at higher altitude near 2000metres so this is likely some variation because it is flowering much before monsoon rains and in cooler temperatures so plant growth also remain stunted. I have seen such variations in some other Himalayan Balsams also...
