The shade of pink (and white) varies among trees. Note that the petal color also tends to lighten as the flowers age (this can also be seen on the photo where closed flowers are darker pink). I think the main difference in subsp. renigera is that it has shorter pods. Maybe it tends to be more uniformly pink as well?

It looks almost the same Ashish, the flowers in my spotting have more white and in yours is almost all pink.Maybe just a variant. Thank you.

Possibly Cassia bakeriana but C. javanica is more commonly planted.

Such anthers find most in Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae and Verbenaceae family plants
