Thanks Shrikant ji and Vijaysankar ji for the ID *Macroptilium atropurpureum* (DC.) Urb. Syn. *Phaseolus atropurpureus*. Initially when I checked some description I read that it has lobed leaflets and my plant doesn't but on careful observation the plant shown by me also has lobed leaflet.
*Macroptilium atropurpureum*, commonly known as Purple Bush-Bean or Siratro, is a climber in the pea family native from Texas south to Peru and Brazil, and to the Caribbean, but widely naturalized in the tropics and subtropics.
