. I think looks different from Astragalus glycyphyllos as per https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=5346998
Also no distribution as per Catalogue of Life. What are the species listed in your area ?
We do not any species under this genus in BD. But Hooker stated 70 species in British India, except A. Glycyphyllos. Mostly from cold region including Nepal. I am talking about Indigofera. From CHT and Chittagong 5 species Indigofera galegoides
Indigofera linnaei
Indigofera suffruticosa
Indigofera tinctoria
Indigofera zollingeriana
Appears close to Indigofera galegoides as per GBIF Specimen Flora of China POWO To me, it is Indigofera galegoides
