Hi Dinesh ji,
Given below are the relevant key characters from Flora of India:
a. Stems not winged ---> Sphaeranthus amaranthoides
b. Stems winged:
b-i) wings entire; flower-heads <1 cm across ---> S. africanus
b-ii) wings toothed; heads up to 2.5 cm across; leaves single-dentate
---> S. senegalensis
So, your plant seems to be *S. senegalensis*, pl. confirm.
In S. indicus, the leaves are double-dentate.
