Thanks Garg ji for the final ID.

Both species of C.helicacabum and C.corindum are  seen in the  nearby wasteland during rainy season. 

[Arvindh T]

Thank you Garg ji.

As per the Flora of India Vol-5 Sapindaceae (2000) pages 354--361 reference given in this eFI thread, the keys are:

C. halicacabum: capsules on short stalks, [subglobose or broadly] pyriform, trigonous, truncate at top, angles winged.

C. canescens (syn. C. corindum): Capsules subglobose, ovate when young, 3-angled, sparsely hairy.

The capsule images do seem to match C. corindum.

I'll mark this as C. corindum as per your suggestion.

Thanks for the correction.
