Which brand has the best after sales support in your area?Check the local shops of brands & ask them how much time it would take for warranty related issues.If money is not an issue then I think spending at least 4-5k on a MFD inkjet is alright.

The above has good reviews & as per comments setting up of wifi printing is also easy.

If you can sacrifice wifi,automatic 2 side printing,touch screen display etc then above also seems like a good option.
For casual home usage even a Rs.2200 printer is good enough.However if your usage demands more quality/quantity then you have to spend more than 2200 on a printer.
After reading reviews I don't really want a printer with wifi, touch screen and all that stuff just a simple coloured printer. I don't even need the scanner, fax thing. But I guess atleast the scanner is there in every coloured printer. I like the second printer that you have posted above. I was looking for its refill and stuff and I found that every coloured printer has different types of cartridges depending upon the model. Moreover the ink might dry up-

The printer will be used to print say 10-20 prints at once in a month at once. So, I think that the ink might dry up at one point or the other.
Do we need both black and coloured cartridge for the inkjet printer? If yes then what is the minimum cost for both of them? Can use some cheap "desi" ink like we use for laser black and white printer which refills for around Rs. 250+GST if there is a cheaper alternative then I think I will opt for the inkjet one.
How much is the ink filling cost of the laser one's? I might have to increase the budget
