11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? Xperia SL, Galaxy Grand Duos, HTC One S, LG Optimus L9
12. Any other info that you want to share: I am a little confused about the above mentioned phones as these have their own limitation(expected).

Please help me out guys...Thanks in advance...

LG OL9 beats every phone below 20k !
and there was an offer going on for LG O4X HD and it was selling for 21k , if that offer still stands then go for it !

If you have a 22k budget, you should try to stretch it a bit and go with quad cores like O:4X HD or SGS3. Forget about dual cores. Google's next edition of Android (Key Lime Pie) is a major update and it would mean that having a quad core increases chances of getting the update through official channels.

You can get Xperia S or SL in that budget, and they are pretty nice phones.
And if you can find One S for around 22-23k then it would be very good for you.
