Hi Naren,
You look to be eligible as none of your absences are over 180 days. With the latest circular from ukba, they are asking for proof of absence for all of the absences even if you are on Tier1.
As far as I am aware and from the friends who applied ILR recently, the PEOs are not very fussy about your past absences (e.g. in 2009). If your long absence was for a compelling/compassionate reason, you can write a personal letter stating that and provide any evidence like medical certificate etc.
About your 12 month bank statement, you still have to carry it for proving your earnings and earning points.
