Hi Dr. Swamy,
  Leaves seem to be pinnate, so it should be a Neem [Azadirachta indica] tree.
                    Regards,
                      Neil Soares.

Neil ji,
I am sure the tree is not neem . In this tree the leaves are bigger
(size) than the neem tree

My guess also goes in support with Sathish ji as this is a species of Swietenia. But I don't think that it is S. macrophilla as S. macrophylla has bigger leaflets (Big leaf mahogany). 

Please check S. humilis as well

Giby
