I had a year gap after class 12th. How is gap year going to affect my admission in top Indian IIM?

I scored above 90 percentile in class 10th, class 12th and 80 percent marks in graduation.

You have to give a proper and valid explanation for your gap year. If you are able to give that no problem will arise in any college.

Just remember to make a good story with some certificates and internships supporting that story. And, you have to make your profile really well-crafted in order to get into IIM.

Try to cover it with certificates or internships that you did at that time.
