Thanks, Surajit ji, for the detailed analysis. I also tried my hand with comparative images at Cichorieae <https://efloraofindia.com/2016/09/24/cichorieae/> as well as those mentioned in previous discussions. Closest I can reach is that it can be some species of Crepis <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=108351> or Youngia <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=135219>. Lack of habit image, is also casting doubts. From 2nd image (with leaf in the background), it appears that it was the only flower on the posted plant. *Youngia japonica* (L.) DC. <https://efloraofindia.com/species/a---l/ar/asteraceae/cichorioideae/cichorieae/youngia/youngia-japonica-l-dc> appears close but relative size of lower phyllaries appears to be a bit larger compared to images herein (considering that habit image are in line with those at the given link)
