As you say, there are benifits as well as limitations to working from home. Firstly, in India, travelling to work location could be a problem for some. There may be certain health reasons or responsibilities which may necessitate working from home. Also, if you have a peaceful household without too many disturbances, your productivity may be higher. This assumes however that most of your tasks are largely isolated in nature. If you have to interact frequently with colleagues to perform a task, it won't be convenient to you as well as the colleagues to be on the phone all the day. There is also the cost of internet access and other communication requirements. One should also have good power backup especially in India.
I think a job in an office with an option to work from home if required is the ideal scenario.
