Desmodium elegans DC. ?? 

I think looks different from your other post.
Pl. check other species as per comparative images at 

May keep it as Desmodium elegans DC. for the time being although I am not fully satisfied.
Other species does not come closer as per comparative images at Desmodium
Thank you ...! 
However, EFN says " Legume flat, linear, 3-5 × 0.4-0.5 cm, hairy, lower su­ture crenate, upper suture nearly straight, 4-6-jointed. 2n = 22."
whereas in this case it is around 14-15.

You may be right. We have to look for the correct ID. 

Ototropis sequax (Wall.) H.Ohashi & K.Ohashi ??
Syn : Desmodium sequax Wall. ??

Did you find any images on net?

Desmodium incanum

Desmodium incanum is not listed in Nepal and seed pod, leaves and flowering  does not match.
I guess leaf pattern, seed pods and flowering are matching.
