Hi, Kaushal ji,

It appears so. See from Indiantreepix Database:

Samanea saman (syn. Pithecolobium saman, Mimosa saman, Calliandra saman, Acasia propinquce, Inga cinerea)

Mimosaceae

Vilaiti Siris,  Rain tree, Monkey pod, Cenizaro, Saman or Cow tamarind

I have records o its flowering in March & August to Oct. in Kolkata. Beginning to flower (22/2/08) in Bangalore as per Poonam ji. Few early flowers being seen now a days (26/2/08) as per Satish ji in Pune. Flowering in the JVPD Scheme/Andheri, Mumbai- 31/3/08- Tejal ji. Flowering observed in Pune- April first fortnight- Satish ji.

Beautiful Trees & Shrubs of Calcutta by Sh. R.K. Chakraverty & S.K.Jain states that it starts flowering from early spring (Feb.- March) and continues spordically up to late Mansoon (September).
