Araliaceae?

To me it seems to be Ailanthus grandis (BORPAT in Assam and DIANGCHAO in Khasi).

Fruits are not same. Fruit of A. grandis is winged (samara). ?

No more comments.

Perhaps Meliosma? Doesn’t look Araliaceae to me.

I think it should be Meliosma pinnata (Roxb.) Maxim. subsp. barbulata (Cufod.) Beusekom, M. D. Dassanayake & F. R. Fosberg as per details and references herein and as per keys in Flora of China.
