This tree is new to me as well. Pictures always help. If you could post the pictures of a cut fruit that might help as well. Unfortunately the flowers are missing since it is easy to identify plants from flowers. A close up of fruits will be helpful as well. In short, the more information the better. May be Umar Khan (long time member) can help.

I think its not Chikoo but Parsimon (Japani phal). It will change its color with the freezing temps.But please post a clear picture.

Yes it may not be chikoo as 1) chikoo gives fruit in summers and 2) i think Kamra weather may not be suitable for chikoo tree to give fruit.
