Kindly help to identify the species. 

The genus is Mimosa.
I have checked the key on efloraofindia site. But it is confusing for a layman like me. 
Can anybody suggest tips for identification in the field. When I visit the place next time I can look for those distinguishing characteristics.  
I can post more photos if it helps in identifying the species.

Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- Wild
Plant Habit-Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Shrub

Looks like Mimosa rubicaulis Lam. Please check Mimosa !

I agree

Can you show us the number of pinnae in a leaf clearly, to go through the keys and finally decide on the species ?

agree with … need to count the pinnae, before the key….. otherwise this is a dx stop at Mimosa sp. 

I counted the pinnae at few places. The average is 13 to 16 pairs.
I am also attaching two photos for your reference. 
If this is not sufficient I will do another field trip in future. 

Thanks, …, You are giving is no. of leaflet pairs.
But this is a compound leaf with many pinnae. Each pinnae has many pair of leaflets. Pl. see
https://qforquestions.com/describe-simple-compound-leaf
I will also go with … for Mimosa rubicaulis Lam. 
Pinnae should be 4 to 6.

  

Any body can provide me the Plant Mimosa rubicaulis for authentication.  
It  will be in flowering now in scrub forests of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka.
