I have purchased 1 year termed Windows Virtual Machine, and money is taken from my card.
The resource is created successfully. Check the image below.
But when i want to start the machine, i don't see any Power On, or whatever button which says to start the virtual machine.
What am i missing here?
After you buy an Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instance, the reservation discount is automatically applied to virtual machines that match the attributes and quantity of the reservation. A reservation covers the compute costs of your virtual machines.
You can deploy Virtual machines that matches the reservation attributes and the hardware portion of the VM will be covered.
Here is the document to Manage reservations for Azure resources
After making an Azure Reserved VM Instance purchase, how do I know which VM got the Azure Reserved VM Instance discount?

We have a service with low SLA requirements, so we host it on a single VM, no need for multiple VMs in availability set/zones.
What happens if there is a zone or fault domain failure?
Will Azure automatically reallocate the VM to an operational zone / host (FD), or we have to actively restart or redeploy the VM in order to reallocate it?
From the document, when facing an unexpected Downtime, Azure will migrate your VM to a healthy physical machine in the same datacenter.
When detected, the Azure platform automatically migrates (heals) your
virtual machine to a healthy physical machine in the same datacenter.
During the healing procedure, virtual machines experience downtime
(reboot) and in some cases loss of the temporary drive. The attached
OS and data disks are always preserved.
However, if you are using a single VM, it's recommended to use Standard SSD wither higher SLA.
A single instance virtual machine with a Standard SSD will have an SLA
of at least 99.5%, while a single instance virtual machine with a
Standard HDD will have an SLA of at least 95%. See SLA for Virtual
Machines.
I have created virtual machine on my azure account. Through Remote desktop protocol,I have accessing virtual machine. I want to calculate cost of doing virtual private network or private connection to access virtual machine?
You can get the Price by checking the Azure Pricing Calculator. Add VPN from the services and pass the number of hours.
I have deployed one web app with azure Virtual machine. Now I want to reserve Virtual Machine for one year. Is it Possible in India to reserve a windows server virtual machine?
Yes, it is possible to buy reserved instances in India.
See: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/windows/
Yes It is possible, but I would recommend you must use auto shut shown option to reduce your cost. and Pricing option you can refer the above mentioned link.
Azure reserved instances is not supported in India region yet. If your account is from India and want to buy azure vm anywhere it does jot support it yet
Can I add existing virtual machine to virtual network?
I have seen this link
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walterm/archive/2013/05/29/moving-a-virtual-machine-from-one-virtual-network-to-another.aspx
and it asks to unattach disk and delete and then create new virtual machine.
Which is impossible in production environment vm.
Any other way to do it?
No, no other option for time being (2014-09-05).
As already suggested, you may try with opening a support ticket, but I doubt that would also help. Before all, Virtual Networks are associated with Affinity Groups. An absolute requirement is that the VHD for the VM uses storage account in the same Affinity Group as the Virtual Network, as well as the Cloud Service that hosts the VM should be also in the same Affinity Group.
To conclude, you have slight chance to solve the issue with support ticket if your new VM and its VHDs are in the same Affinity Group as the Virtual Network. If they are not (either the VM or the VHDs), then your only option is delete and recreate.
In the azure managment portal, I created a Virtual Network, but when i go to create the virtual machines, It didn't give me the screen that let me assign that vm to the virtual network. Why?
How long did you wait between the time the Virtual Network was created and the time when trying to create the VM? I've seen sometimes where it takes a little bit (less than 30 sec.), or refresh the management portal. Also, the VM must be provisioned into a VNET. You can't currently assign an existing VM to a VNET.
