Best bet: Samsung NP300E5Z-S08IN 2 Gen Ci5/4GB/750GB/1GB graphics/DOS @ 35k. Just buy an OS with the extra money.

What about this one Sujay Dell Inspiron 15R 2nd Gen Ci5.

The HDD is 500GB. but am getting Windows 7 with it...Hows this for a laptop of my requirements??

The Samsung model I suggested has better graphics + 750GB HDD vs 500GB HDD. And you can get a win HP in remaining money but Inspiron is giving you HB. Also, personally I don't like the keyboard of Inspiron.

Here are the options available for you:
With Intel HD3000
Asus P53E-SO059D
Samsung NP300E5Z-A0PIN
With Dedicated 1GB graphics:
Asus X53SC-SX492D( it also has a USB 3.0)
And if you want a Sony then you can consider this:
Sony VAIO E Series VPCEH38FN

And also the one suggest above by sujay is also good.

Asus K53SM-SX010D @ 38k (M.D. Computers Kolkata) + rest amount for OS.

Asus K53SM-SX010D is best option.

At 40k budget get this samsung laptop : Samsung NP300V5A-S0GIN
And for 45k gaming, either get the above asus one or Lenovo Ideapad Z Series Z570 (59-321453)
Both are available at flipkart
