Thank you Gopal sir. 

[Shakir Ahmad (Amateur Taxonomist)]

Thank you Rawat sir

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Rawat ji.

It is Jaeschkea canaliculata as the calyx lobes are ovate and not lanceolate as per keys in Flora of Pakistan. 

Jaeschkea oligosperma looks different as per GBIF specimens- one and two.
