Since you have the budget, get something like this. Surely a gaming monitor is overkill for work, but my reason for recommending it is the panel quality, mainly better colours compared to cheaper IPS panels. Height adjustable stand is convenient to have & its within your budget. Wait for Prime Day sale beginning this weekend.

Something cheaper, that lacks height adjustable stand but still has a good panel:

This was my primary monitor for 2 years, now is my 2nd screen. You can always use jugaad to raise the monitor, like a thick book or something below it.

I bought this to adjust its height later:

Thanks for the suggestion. Will keep an eye out for LG on prime day.
Is there any good 27" in this budget? And is it worth the upgrade?

27" 1080p is not recommended because of low ppi. For many people they might be fine with seeing pixels at times, so take your call. I use my 27" 1440p monitor almost 60cm away & its great for me, was using 24" 1080p earlier which was fine in terms of ppi at such distance.

You might get something for 18-19k during sale. But for under 15k, 24" 1080p is solid, costs under 13k these days for a good one.

Would there be any good options other than LG for 1080 24"?
Maybe something thats a bit sleek?
How's the samsung Odyssey g3?
Also how reliable are LG monitors? Got one samsung that's 10 years old, still working without any issues.

LG, Samsung, Acer, Asus & MSI are big names for monitors.

@omega44-xt Can you please recommend a monitor in the range of 6000 to 8000? I have added the 24GN65R to my cart and need one more. Should it be 24 inches or smaller? Both monitors will be primarily used for working with Excel worksheets in an office environment

Your call if you want 24" or smaller. IMO don't go below 22" as options start becoming much worse. You can get 22" 1080p IPS monitors for under 8k, options from LG, Samsung or Benq.

IMO just get this MSI 24" IPS monitor under 7.5k. Should be good enough. I am assuming you will use card discounts as well.

I only got HDFC. I should have bought it yesterday:pan:. If there are any other 24-inch monitors below Rs 9000, what about the LG 24MP400? Here's the link: amazon.in/LG-Monitor-connectivity-Freesync-24MP400/dp/B0C695J73J

Will I get an Eye Care Monitor in this price range?

Should be fine

I tried only Samsung & Dell non-gaming monitors, former was better to me.

Unless you can't control yourself, just get ICICI Platinum CC, it is lifetime free. Will come in handy in sales. Similarly keep an eye on LTF offers on Axis CCs.

Do get amazon CC after getting ICICI platinum.
