I could not find distribution of Elsholtzia communis in India as per google search and as per the following:

http://wcsp.science.kew.org/namedetail.do?name_id=66721

http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/2dc793091efcb84447b1f0061f49fd4e (China South-Central; Myanmar; Thailand; Vietnam)

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200019625

http://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:446628-1

except for some records as per:

http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.k000881720 

http://scialert.net/fulltext/?doi=ajft.2011.924.931

Also unable to know if they look different from herbarium of this species as per the following links:

http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.k000881720

On the other hand it looks similar to Elsholtzia griffithii (with distribution in India- Assam; Myanmar; Nepal; Thailand) as per the following:

Now it is upto you to decide.

In India the species Elsholtzia communis is not found in India. In herbaria some Anisochilus sp fruiting specimens were wrongly identified as E Communis.

The attached 2015 paper (Blumea 59, 2015: 209–214) reduced Elsholtzia communis (Collett & Hemsl.) Diels to a synonym of Elsholtzia griffithii Hook.f.
