Best CPU under 230 dollars

Just CPU isn't really enough. Going to mean a motherboard as well, so it is total cost of motherboard, CPU, and likely RAM.

If I just go by the price of an i5-6500 in Rupees, the i5-8400 isn't much more. But then you would need a Z370 motherboard.

The i5-7400 is certainly cheaper than the i5-6500, so certainly that is a better option. And lets you use something like a B250 motherboard to make it even cheaper.

R5-1500X is also in that price range. That gets you 6 cores like the 8400, but with SMT. Lower IPC though, so if gaming is the goal, then I would still lean towards the Intel chips.

Indian Rupees, meaning it lives in India, not the United States, that deal wouldn't apply sadly.

I'm sure they got their Indian connections in the U.S. Get one of the family members to buy it and mail it. Even with international mailing, the processor is so small and so light that could not possibly be all that expensive.

Shipping to India won't exactly save you any $$$$$ unless i't a really once in a life time sale. As far as what is best that depends on what you have doesn't it? $230 equivalent in your Country would be a Ryzen 1600 and below or, I5 7400 and below.
