Answer 1

your code is fine.

if you are binding gridview on page load be sure your code is as below block

if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                //code to bind gridview
            }

Answer 2

Change the code to and check:

for (int i = 0; i < grd_proforma_bill.Rows.Count; i++)  
{ 
  HiddenField file_id = (HiddenField)grd_proforma_bill.Rows[i].FindControl("lbl_id");  
  Label pack_name = (Label)grd_proforma_bill.Rows[i].FindControl("lbl_packname");  
  string text = file_id.Value;  
  CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)grd_proforma_bill.Rows[i].FindControl("Checkbox2"); 
  bool isChecked = cb.Checked;

  if (isChecked)  
  {  
       //Here its comming  
  }  
}  

Answer 3

i think you want to find Checkbox2 and you are finding chkSelect

please replace this

bool isChecked = ((CheckBox)row.FindControl("chkSelect")).Checked;

with

bool isChecked = ((System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputCheckBox)grd_proforma_bill.HeaderRow.FindControl("Checkbox2")).Checked;
