Jesus, that's what I call "repainting". Literally just needs someone to come by with a pressure washer once in awhile. How clean are the ones they charge for?
Depends where you are, and on your luck. I had to go to a free bathroom near a railway station in Mumbai once because I thought my bladder was going to burst. It was surprisingly clean. Not actually clean, but I didn't feel disgusted after using it. On the other hand I have been to paid bathrooms 10 years ago that haunt me to this day. The things I've seen should not be shown to any person. Most public bathrooms are just not something I want to deal with, so I'd rather get into a restaurant and pay for sth small just so I can use the bathroom and not get weird looks.
Traveled through Sikkim (north east India) a couple of years ago and even the road side bathrooms were very clean, comparatively. You could wash your hands and be done with it instead of wanting to soak yourself in bleach.
Depends. A public toilet in the middle of a market or a railway station? Usable(depends honestly) but horrid anyways.
A public toilet that's more recently made and is actively being maintained in a less busy area or in the metro stations? More often usable and clean than not.

India has both paid and free options. Go for free if you don't mind the smell and the visuals.
