How often one can switch on and off 1MVA oil filled transformer in a Year just for doing daily maintenance on the downstream circuit.

Why would you switch the transformer, why not just open the downstream breaker?
 
A coincidence, perhaps - I just have a case where there are no downstream breakers. It is not so unusual, actually. With large drives, it is quite common not to have a breaker between transformer secondary and drive.
