I would like to move to Singapore for better pay.
Quetions:

2) How much salary can I expect ?
3) I would like to have in Hand atleast 2000SGD (after all expenses); is it possible?
4) which one would be best option - Non-IT companies / IT Consulting?

No. Simple reason - India's growth will outstrip Singapore's forever from now on. Don't believe the lies your brothers here tell you - they are all miserable paupers for moving here.

1) Is it good idea to move Singapore? - Probably not, at the moment.
2) How much salary can I expect ? - As much as you can negotiate for. Anywhere between 4000 and 7000 SGD, depending on your experience and negotiation skills.
3) I would like to have in Hand atleast 2000SGD (after all expenses); is it possible? - Difficult, looking at the high rent and school fees, and seeing as you are not single.
4) which one would be best option - Non-IT companies / IT Consulting? - Does not really matter, IMO.
5) can I accept short term (say 2/3 yrs) contract jobs offered by consulting companies? - If you are a risk-taker, yes.
6) what are the things I need to consider before taking decision? - Whether you can afford a good lifestyle for your whole family.
7) Can you suggest some job portal? - Yes. Just google.
Your help is greatly appreciated Thanks!

OP, you sound like you are looking at a "bird in bush" kind of situation. Did you get any offer from a Singaporean company yet? It would be crazy even to think of moving here without any offer.
Having said that, give it go, apply for companies, if you get an offer >=7k its worth the move. If not stay where you are.

You can't do this. Many people want to do this, so many, in fact, that the government works hard to make sure they can't. Such is life.
