I think it is Uraria rufescens, as per images and details herein. When were images clicked ?

Looks different from images at Desmodium multiflorum and Grona heterocarpos

The images were clicked in November, 2019.

End of the Monsoon season (that's when many understorey fabs flower in that part of the forest).

Pl. mention the date, as it is sometimes very important for correct identification.

Your timing confirms the id.
