+1 to moto g (2014). Xperia ZR is also a good option.

Only ZR out of the above has removable battery but it might not get Android L.

I highly recommend Asus Zenfone 5 with 2gb RAM and 16 gb Internal of which 12 gb is user available with additional memory slot..I too had aversion for Asus but when I stated using it,I just fell in love with it.Smooth as it can be,camera excellent,battery lasts through a day.And to top it,it is just 13k.

Go with Moto G...
I'm happy with it

Moto G easily get's an 4 hour screen time and a roughly 15+ hrs battery, without Android L you can expect a 10-20% of increase in battery

Well Huawei honor is a good phone, if you are able to find a deal you might be able to bring it down to your Max budget, it's price is 20k now,
Wait for Diwali, may be youll be able to get good deals
The other option is Moto x (2013) which is 18 k
And then you have Moto g
