The words cheap and reliable dont gel when it comes to multimeters. Speaking from experience here. If you need something reliable, buy the ones made by Fluke. The one I own is Fluke 101, if i remember correctly. Bought it for 1600/-ish.
Fluke is the best all-rounder, but with your budget, Mastech(830L) is a good choice!! Its quite reliable @ the price point.
For any basic measurement this should suffice your need.
