Does it grow near streams or rivers. Check for Terminalia arjuna
It looks like Spondias mangifera of Anacardiaceae.  Its fruits are used in pickles.  I hope it is that tree.
Once fruits become big, we can positively identify it.
Its very small now.
I am adding the fruits pictures. Attachments (3)
efi page on Spondias pinnata syn: Spondias mangifera Willd. 
Sapindus trifoliatus L.?
It is not Sapindus trifoliatus though the  dried fruits look closer to S.trifoliatus fruits. Leaves are quite different. Looks like Spondias species only. It could be evenSpondius mombin. Pl check the characters  carefully.
The fruits tell you it is not Terminalia arjuna. Also fruits of Spondias are different in several respect.
Leaves imparipinnate = Spondias
Leaves paripinnate = Sapindus
You can have an account of Spondias mombin at-
  1. http://www.worldagroforestry.org/treedb2/AFTPDFS/Spondias_mombin.pdf
  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondias_mombin
Now, if this tree is wild or 'planted'/cultivated is not mentioned in the thread. If it is wild it can only be Sapindus trifoliatus L.
Definitely not sapindus.
I also think its spondias, i have seen the fallen flowers. But never saw fallen fruits.
The leaves are paripinnate, so initially thought spondias bipinnata.
Incredible!
Can it be Clausena lansium?
What did it turn out finally?
Still not sure what it is.
Definitely not Spondias.
