Very few members of Crotalaria seem to be there with blue rather than yellow flowers. This seems to be one of them.

Does not matches with the herbarium specimens at GBIF (Crotalaria capitata Baker syn. of Crotalaria khasiana Bal. ex Thoth. & A.A.Ansari syn. Crotalaria bhutanica Thoth. as per Catalogue of lifeGBIF (Crotalaria khasiana Bal. ex Thoth. & A.A.Ansari syn.

8. C. capitata Baker; C. bhutanica Thothathri
Low sprawling shrub, stems 15-40cm, appressed brown pubescent. Leaves oblanceolate or obovate, 1.2-3><0.5—1cm, acute, base cuneate, sessile, sparsely pilose above, appressed brown pubescent beneath; stipules minute, deciduous. Flowers 3-20 in short dense terminal racemes. Calyx c12mm densely long brown sericeous, deeply divided into lanceolate teeth, upper pair broader. Petals blue-violet, standard suborbicular c 1cm across, paler than wings and keel, wings oblong c 10X3mm, keel c 12X4mm, upwardly curved near middle, pale puberulous along upper margin. Pods obovoid, c 10><5mm, inflated, glabrous.
Bhutan: C—Thimphu to Tashigang districts, N—Upper Mo Chu and Upper Kuru Chu districts; Sikkim. On open grassy banks and gravel, 1825-3000m. July-September.


I feel it is closer to images of Crotalaria bhutanica Thoth. in Flowersofindia, but not correctly identified.
Amber ji and Tabish ji may pl. look into it.

Dear Garg ji,
  This plant does look superficially similar to the plant on FOI as Crotalaria bhutanica, but one can see differences. For example, compare the flower-stalks of the two. The leaves of Crotalaria bhutanica  are supposed to be inverted-lanceshaped or obovate. The angle of the pictures on FOI is such that this aspect is not very apparent.
The herbaria on GBIF are not detailed enough for comparing with FOI images.

I think more closer to images at Crotalaria meghalayensis Danda & A.K.Pandey after going through the paper of this publication, where difference with C.oculta is also given.
