Seems okay but for store usage a mini pc will more than enough. You'll get some good options here for mini pc's in 10-15k range. I am assuming this is for bills, item scanning and stuff.
 
It would help if you could give your rationale for a full sized desktop when for most of us when your requirements scream "mini PC"

That explains the rationale behind avoiding Mini PCs, which is an obvious choice for your requirements.
Your configuration for a Budget PC is quite good. It will offer all the necessary performance benefits.
Moreover, a desktop can be easily repaired or serviced as nearly every part can be swapped easily and cheaply.
Just a few suggestions/pointers:
Instead of a single 8GB, get 2X4GB RAM sticks for Dual-Channel performance.
You missed an internal or USB Wi-Fi adapter. Be sure to purchase it even if you plan a wired connection as a backup.
Ideally, for a desktop, there should be a backup power supply too.
BTW what OS do you plan to use? Linux or Windows? 8GB should be sufficient for everyday office tasks, but it may fall short in some rare cases.

Any particular reason for avoiding refurbished/renewed units? Micro form factor PCs from Dell, Lenovo, HP are pretty solid devices, and you see them for sale mostly those used by big companies which need to cycle the units every 3 years or so.

I got a Dell Micro last year, and when I got it the warranty had expired just a few weeks prior. Still running strong, very low power consumption, best for 24/7 usage.
 
Personally would build it like this. I like to avoid crap PSUs especially for work purposes.

because there is no warranty and I have 0 knowledge about the condition or wear and tear of the product especially electronic goods.

In 20k you should consider used pc market, that way you can still have uninterrupted performance and be effective and efficient in all office applications and similar usecase.

I am sure you would be able to get an i5 gen 9th or similar within that price range
