I am on Tier 1 going for the extension on Feb 2013. My initial visa was granted on 12th mar 2010 and I arrived in UK on 27th May 2010, so I would say gap of 76 days.
1. I am going to India in december, days will be 24. So total days which i have been in india will be 76+24 = 100 days, which exceeds the 90days ILR criteria.
You can be absent for a maximum of 180 days in 5 years period. You can ignore the initial 76 days, as absent are counted after you arrive in UK.
2. My visa expires on 12th Mar 2013 and i will be applying between the dateframe 4th to 8th Mar 2013.
Its alright to apply during the dates you specified. However, you can apply 28 days prior to your expiry date
So do I have to still apply for second extension or I can apply for ILR ?
As stated above, you don't need to apply for second extension if you are absent for 180 days in 5 years period.
