this is more that Just a Visa. This basically in lame man terms British Citizenship without the passport. You have no restriction on what you can do in the UK, be it for holiday, working, business anything. The only difference is that of you are a Visa National you will still need a Visa to travel to most countries, but as you would have ILR in the UK, it wld be much easier and straight forward to apply and get Visas to most countries.
You are correct in the sense that if you are out of the country for more that 2yrs you will loose your ILR as you have not shown your commitments to make UK your Permanent home. That being said if you visited now and again periodically if you do decide to Leave you still get to keep you ILR.
As you are the main applicant, restriction of Travel is on you and not so much your dependants. So when you apply for your ILR you and add your wife and Children under 18yrs as your dependent and they will get it as well.
In the Long run for your daughter, if you decide to send her to the UK for her University Education, She will pay Home Fee, which is Miles cheaper than overseas fees!! You can also file for Child support *after all as you have been working and paying taxes, might as well file for that as well*. So many other things!
she need to stay 3 year here to get these benefits
Well I hope this helps you just a little bit.

)..So in case i leave uk the next day of getting ILR, i need to come back to UK at least once in 2 years ..But then do i need to stay in UK for long?
Or can i just enter an exit to keep "ILR"alive?after doing this couple of times, wouldnt the immigration officer come to know that i am just touching UK to keep my ILR alive?
*** Its Up to you how you keep the ILR alive, by coming to the UK periodically weather for work or Visit is all up to you, it is not a problem at all****
2)can i apply for BC any time after getting ILR?Say ,after 3 years ?(Those 3 years would be spent in India except the UK visit),
*** U need a full consistent year with Current immigration rules before you can apply for BC, so no your periodical visits to keep your ILR will not be sufficient for you to apply for BC***
In my office ,some collegues mentioned that this is not the way to use ILR in the sense..
** Its up to u how u want to take advantage of your ILR***
I dont know how would ILR help me,may be some employer wants me to come to UK for work i can come with out getting WP..
*** That will be one of the advantages of having ILR, you can come back freely and do anything you want Legally without restrictions*****
About child benefit,i wont be staying in UK after getting ILR,so dont think that it would help me,but thanks for pointing that out..
*** You are right, if you are not going to be here, u will not be able to claim for that***
Any other inputs ?
