What decides it at this price
Forty thousand rupees buys a tablet that can genuinely replace a laptop for many tasks, with a fast processor, a high-refresh display and support for a keyboard cover and an active stylus. The question at this price is whether the software makes good use of the hardware.
iPadOS has the strongest set of tablet-specific apps for drawing, note-taking and editing. Android tablets from Samsung and others offer desktop-style modes with multiple windows and are more flexible with files. Check that the apps you rely on work well on the platform before choosing on hardware.
Accessories add significantly to the cost. A keyboard cover and stylus can add a third to the price of the tablet, so compare the total. Some tablets include the stylus in the box at this price, which is a real saving.

12 on this page, each one priced from the shop’s own listing rather than from a brochure. The cheapest sits at ₹25,999 and the dearest at ₹37,999, and the list is rebuilt from the current prices every time the page is served. This page starts at ₹25,000, because that is the money people with this budget are choosing between; cheaper tablets are on the lower budget pages.
Lenovo, OnePlus, ASUS and Brave between them account for most of what qualifies here. The page lists whatever the catalogue holds at this price, so a brand appears when it has something in the band and disappears when it does not.
It is the lowest price we read on a shop’s own page, with any card offer worked out separately and its terms shown beside it. What you pay is whatever the retailer shows at checkout, so confirm there — a price can move between our reading it and your opening the page.
