  • German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. The herb smells slightly like an apple, which may explain its name—chamomile is Greek for "ground apple."

Not agree with Matricaria sp. 
Please look at the disc floret ... 
Phyllaries centrally dark greenish or brownish, oblong, , . Ray florets 10–25; corollas (4–)10–13(–20) mm. Disc corollas 1–2.5 mm.

Not matched.., 
It resembles with Tripleurospermum inodorum

Tripleurospermum inodorum has not been reported from India/Kashmir. Before making sure check achenes: they should be triquetrous with 1 adaxial and two lateral ribs, and two distinct resin sacs at tip, ray florets 1 cm long, if they are 5 mm long or less it could be T. parviflorum which is reported from Pakistan and in FBI.
Matricaria would have dorsi-ventrally compressed achenes, with 5 ribs on one side lacking resinous sacs, ray florets 5-8 mm long in M. chamomilla

Is the receptacle solid or hollow?
 In Matricaria the receptacle is hollow.
