Since he wont be gaming or tinkering with apps, L520 is the best you can get..
If you were to choose android ,Xperia M or Huawei P1 are two great options

I'd say go with your choice (i.e. Lumia 520) if Dual SIM is not that important.

+1 for 520.
I gifted the same to my dad. More than happy.
Better stay away from Androids if he was coming from a Nokia family. Because Androids from reputed brands under 10k tend to be slow.

+1 lumia 520

I have used Lumia 520, and i can say that its a very good phone with some limitations.

Right now i m using Xolo a500s, except for the keyboard and battery backup its pretty nice. Since it is my first android phone i cant judge against others. But its looking pretty VFM at Rs.6400.

How is the battery life compared to L520 ?

Battery life is very average. It can last one day with medium usage.

For Dual SIM:
XOLO Q700

Lumia 520 available in some sites at 8.2k..

Finally got Lumia 520 for 9K
Dad is happy with it :lol:

520 has hit rock bottom pricing. 920/925 may get proper pricecut to 25k level, but with L520 there is hardly any space for more pricecut.

8K is the threshold for L520.
