Looks like a species of Ilex. Perhaps Ilex odorata or Ilex pseudo-odorata

After Navendu's suggestion, I think it agrees with Ilex odorata. Following is the description from Flora of India:

Ilex odorata

 Evergreen trees, 5-7 m tall; bark brownish grey, smooth, covered with
white streaks. Leaves elliptic-oblong, lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, 3-8 x
1.5-3 cm, apex acute to shortly caudate-acuminate,acumen 5-17 mm long,
margin serrate, coriaceous, shining above, pale below, base acute, cuneate;
lateral nerves 7-9 pairs, slender; petioles ca 0.7 cm long, channelled; stipules
2, 0.5-0.75 mm long, caducous. Male inflorescence in axillary corymbose
cymes. Flowers 4-5-merous, white; bracts small, caducous. Peduncles 0.5-
3 mm long, pedicels 1-4 mm long. Calyx 1.75-2 mm broad; lobes ovate,
rounded, deltoid. Petals oblong-lanceolate, 2.5-3 x 1-2 mm, united below.
Stamens longer than petals; anthers ellipsoid. Female inflorescence fascicled
or crowded on short axillary branches; pedicels 2-6 mm long, Staminodes
shorter than petals. Drupes pedicellate, globose or ovoid, 4-6 mm across, red-
brown to black when ripe, rugose. Pyrenes 4-5, trigonous, 2.75-4 x 1.8-2 mm,
