Many thanks dear Tanay for the ID.
On going through flickr search, it does look like Laetiporus sulphureus
... except a line about its distribution and habitat at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus_sulphureus says:
"widely distributed across Europe and North America, although may be restricted to east of the Rockies."

Many thanks Tanay ... 2 results sufficient to know its distribution in North and South India.

Hi Dinesh Ji,
Nice to know that you could confirm Laetiporus sulphureus is distributed ubiquitously in India.
I am only assuming that the photographed mushroom is a very young form of the mushroom.
Laetiporus sulphureus is mostly found associated with tree trunk which they eventually decompose.
Hence my speculation is completely based on probability , there is ever possibility that the fungus
which you have recorded may be something different.
Regards
Tanay
