For Android, Galaxy S Advance or Optimus L9.
For WP8, Lumia 620.
If you can extend further, Lumia 720 or Xperia L.

Big no to LG L7 II

Get S advance in offer below 13k & get some el chepo fone in 2k [most preferred]
OR
LG L9 can came @ 15.5 or even less in offer

Or

Lenovo P770 will fit within 15k

single sim: LG L9 or S Adv. L9 will cost 17k unless you apply some coupon or get it from some deal (HS18 superdeals).
dualsim: Lenovo A800.

S Adv got Android 4.1 update last week.

forgot to mention that lenovo p770 is dual sim, jelly bean os and has whopping 3500 mah battery.
Last when I checked it was just below 14k on infibeam and @13.5k on sulekha.

As sam mentioned lenovo a800 - good option around 10k but has ics and lacks led flash.
