Mongolia goalkeeper Battulga Narmandakh came out to close down Nikhil Rajendra but the Indian captain was able to relay the ball to Seaon Victor, who fired into an unguarded goalmouth.
An action packed second half saw the bar denying both Rajendra and Mongolia's Temuujin Altansukh before India doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute.
The same pair combined well again with Rajendra setting up Victor for the tap in before Anmol Adhikari capped a fine India performance with the third goal two minutes later.
