Flora of China does not give any range of Viola patrinii Candolle ex Gingins in Candolle in India.
This more closer to Viola patrinii auct. non DC.: Hook. f. & Thoms. in Hook. f., Fl. Brit. Ind. 1: 183. 1872. = Viola betonicifolia as per Flora of Pakistan (& China), both of which give its range in India.
Also it is closer to Viola betonicifolia as per illustrations:
