How to confirm it's not T. chebula?

Because T. chebula has intraspecific variations and myself had found lot of variations in fruit size.

When I first saw the tree's leaf it was totally different.My guess may be wrong.

[Paradesi Anjaneyulu]

Yes, you're right sir, 

Chebula leaves are completely different.

Leaf key 

Leaves Ovate, rarely some are obovate, immersed nerves, chartaceous(Thin).......Chebula

Leaves Broadly obovate- orbicular, bullet nerves, Chartaceous(Leathery)........Pallida

Fruits Key

Fruit clear ovoid, both sides equal beak from the centre of the fruit, clear ridges.....chebula

Fruits seem rounded, slightly or slightly unequal beak at both sides, unclear ridges......pallida.
