Unless you have any specific criteria to filter (other than the one's you already mentioned - check the specs), you can pick any one of these. Reviews are decent enough for both the phones.
Poco M4 Pro 5G and Moto G51 5G should come under 10k after exchange and offers/discounts.
Performance seems both are on par with each other
Don't expect much from these cameras
 
Poco M4 5G looks great for 11k, with offers, will be 10k. Dimensity 700 + an FHD 90Hz panel are good for the price. See if you can get 6/128GB model

Moto G51 will give you a clean stock android experience but boots android 11, so small chance of getting android 13.

SD 480 performs similar to Dimensity 700. So pick one.

Poco m4 5g and moto g51 5g.
Poco m4 pro 5g is going above 10k, even after exchange and other pre-paid offers.
Redmi 3s - exchange value is around 2.2k and they reduce exchange price from 0% to 60%. Check this below

Next sale should be the Diwali sale, likely in Oct. That's the biggest sale of the year.

Poco M4 5G 6/128GB is 13k, then 1k off using SBI CC, another 2.2k using exchange so will be under 10k.

Not sure why FK started asking box as well, but maybe they will reduce 20% for minor damages (wear & tear) & missing box, see what they say. Else just buy 4/64GB variant.

M4 Pro 5G is on sale for 13k, with SBI credit card non-EMI you will get 1k discount, if you opt for EMI you will get 1.5k discount. And another 2.25k for your 3s. For EMI the bottom number will be under 10k, for non EMI I don't know if there is any processing fee or not, my guess is even if there is processing fee the bottom number will be under or around 10k.

If they are not gonna take 3s for 2.2k, I would rather keep it.

I am seeing some rumours for Poco M5 and M5s, but they likely won't come in your budget. I am seeing offers every week for the last one month or so. I don't know if this is how the offers were before for smartphone or it is just this time.
Dushera comes around 1st week of Oct, so we will see first round of big offers before that and the second round before diwali which is early fourth week of Oct. There isn't going be any big offers before these two, but we can very well expect offers similar to the ongoing ones in the coming weeks as well.
 
Poco M4 5G vs M4 Pro 5G:
Compare Xiaomi Poco M4 5G (India) vs. Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G - GSMArena.com

Notable advantages of latter are slightly faster SoC, better selfie cam, ultrawide cam (vs useless 2nd rear cam), stereo speakers & faster charging. IMO only faster charging will be noticeable to most users. So can stick to M4 5G. M4 5G does support 6 out of 8 Indians bands, same as M4 Pro 5G.

M4 pro 5g already purchased by family member on 1st sale @ ~₹17k including offers.
He is deciding between g51 5g and m4 5g. And also waiting and checking offers on daily basis.

There is already a card offer going on, some electronic sale is starting on 26th. So just buy now before card offer is gone, or wait for the Big Billion Day sale in Oct.
