Would that mean I should have been physically in the country 5 years back, today?
Today? Only if you are applying today! You must have been physically in the UK exactly 5 years before UKBA receive the Naturalisation application.

Do note that UKBA have no discretion about this particular rule. It is either passed or failed, that is it.

..... or when I completed 1 year of ILR?
There is no such requirement.

Thank You John. I found that I was away on holidays for 3 weeks in July, 5 years back and was only back on the 31st of July. So I will wait till the end of the month to apply for naturalisation (mine is as per JR, 4 yrs HSMP+ 1 yr ILR).
