Shrikant ji, thanx for the clue. But leaflets do not seem to be oblong. can it be Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Ear pod tree)?
Extremely sorry for bad pics. Cheers, Shubhada "I am only one; but still I am one.

This would be Albizia julibrissin, though not too sure, the Persian Silk Tree. It has pink flowers resembling the Rain Tree. Pls keep watching for flowers in early summer.
