Ehretia laevis Roxb. [Boraginaceae].

The first few close-ups are not of the flower but of the flared calyx prior to fruiting.

Best wishes, Viplav

Dear Viplav ji,

Yes, it is Ehretia laevis, thank you very much for ID my tree.  Our EFI flower images shows development of fruiting started before petals' shedding, so I think it is calyx remaining after plucking of berry.

With kind regards, Sam.
