It's same as the Sony, it just has digital image stabilization. The ones I mentioned were the only choices (decent, in my view) you have in this budget.

SO far I have found only this- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH4 Point & Shoot Rs.4990 Price in India - Buy Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH4 Point & Shoot Black Online - Panasonic: Flipkart.com
Rest are either out of stock or not listed,
What should I do? 14 MP with image stabiliser or 16.1MP w/o stabiliser?

Don't mind about mega pixels... It's nothing. All the cameras nowadays packed with more than necessary/should be/enough megapixels in the camera.

The models I mentioned should be selling around 6k or under. A3400 and FH10 are available in the price range.
