1. when am I due for indefinite leave to remain?

1.What? If you already have ILR than how can you be due for ILR?
2.Can’t say for sure but usually in case of DLR.. 10 years from application/grant of DLR.
immigration laws are different from nationality laws.

1. Please keep all your questions in one topic.

2. There is no annual limit of absence for citizenship except the last 12 months before applying has a 90 day absence limit. The total absence for the whole 5 years before applying is 450 days if not married to a British citizen and 270 days in the 3 years before applying if your spouse is British.

Thanks for the urgent reply CR001 but you did not answer my second question RE: CITIZENSHIP QUALIFICATION TIME.

Read the good character guidance for nationality.
Apply it to ur complete circumstances from the time you entered the United Kingdom.
Whereas one may fulfil the free of immigration control and absences criteria but a number of applicants fail on good character.

How long in a calender year could an indefinite leave holder stay outside United kingdom for ?

Time outside the UK is not calculated per calendar year, but per rolling year.

Long absences from the UK, with only short returns to the UK in between, can lead to a cancellation of the ILR. An absence of more than two years from the UK leads to an automatic lapse of the ILR.

When am I do for naturalization after indefinite leave, (I got my indefinite leave after completing 6 years of discretionary leave as an unmarried partner of a British citizen)?.

As you are not married to a British citizen, you can apply for naturalisation when you meet the time requirements for naturalisation;
a) at least one year of holding ILR status,
b) meeting the absence requirements over five (450 days) and one (90) years,
c) being physically present in the UK at the start of the five year period and
d) not having been illegally resident in the UK at any time in the past ten years.

You would also need to meet the other naturalisation requirements such as having completed the LITUK and English tests, etc.
