I think this is the same species as the one which is there in the
unidentified list at flowersofindia.in

Tabish ji I think this one looks more like the Impatiens balfourii...
reference:

await the response of the elders...

Alok ji

I hope may be right. Your plant is perhaps I. balfourii

The Plant at FOI unidentified is perhaps I. micranthum, now correctly known as I. laxiflora

Thank you sir, Tabish ji can get two more additions in FOI if this is
correct...

Impatiens balfourii seem right for Alok's Balsam.

For the unidentified one at FOI
http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/Unidentified/slides/g053.html
the description at flora of china says
"Lower sepal navicular, with erect, short spur. ... Capsule clubshaped"
Well, the spur doesn't look short to me, and the capsules don't look
club-shaped. Unfortunately, couldn't find a picture of Impatiens
laxiflora on the web.

Tabish ji

I had identified it as Impatiens micranthemum which as given in FBI (page 481) the capsules are linear and apiculate, spur is slender and straight, as clearly seen in your photograph. It is another matter that now this is placed under I. laxiflora, which is now a more broader complex.
