Garden plant for ID :180111 : AK-3: Taken at Muscat, Oman on the 4th of March,2010. 
It is a weed seen in wastelands and abandoned farms in Mumbai also. 
Alternanthera pungens for me too.  Very common in Chennai as a weed. 
Yes  Alternanthera pungens a weed in West Bengal too 
Any other species of Alternanthera? 

Yes ... Your doubt is genuine. The leaves of A. pungens more or less rounded in outline, and perianth with sharper tips. This could be A. ficoidea.

I go for Alternanthera ficoidea
