For a nation obsessed with mileage, it is great.

So I been hearing some conflicting reports on manned missions for India.
Some say 2015 India is going up, others say 2017 because the manned mission is not in the current 5 year plan, while still others say it will be behind 2017 and not in this decade due to financial difficulties?
Then there is of course talk of the 2020 moon landing.
What's accurate here?
There will be no manned mission until the GSLV Mk3 proves itself to be a successful and reliable launcher.
The other technologies, life support, etc are already present.

The GSLV-III orGeosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle mark III a current launch vehicledevelopment project by theIndian Space Research Organization that got underway in the early-2000s and is now scheduled for its first suborbitaltest launch of the GSLV booster stage in 2014.[5] It is intended to launch heavy satellites intogeostationary orbit, and will allow India to become less dependent on foreign rockets for heavy lifting.
With first flight now scheduled for April 2014; it is likely the first orbital flight will take place in 2016.[citation needed] ISRO would then need several more successful launches to declare the launcher safe for manned flight. First manned flight is unlikely before 2020, possibly 2–3 years later
Any schedule on when that might be?
GSLV Mk III will be tested with cryo engine in 2017.
It will be tested without cryo engine next year.

I believe you are mistaken. The cryo engine will be used in the next GSLV flight scheduled by Jan 2015.
What is going to be tested in 2017 is the new 20 Ton thrust LOX engine that is under development.
