All responses favour to *Cassia fistula* to which I also agree. There is an interesting observation heard from many of my friends from Pune about this tree planted as ornamental. The tree is very difficult to survive when planted as ornamental for first few years ..say even 5-6 years. The leaves shrink. It looks unhealthy as if it is going to die. Suddenly in one season it starts growing fast and in a year or so attains a good height and starts flowering profusely. I think similar is the case here and you are waiting for it to flower.
