Can anybody tell what all happens inside an i.mx6 board when we try to boot it in internal mode? Is it that in internal mode the board does not look into the flash at all to discover the u-boot image and the image must be provided only from the serial port? If yes then what steps should be followed to perform internal booting? It would be of great help if commands for performing internal booting is provided.
Thanks in Advance!

You have already got several answers pointing to the provided documentation. Please read it. The boot process is descripted with details in Chapter 8 of the i.MX6 User Manual. There is no short way, you have to read it accurately.

No, it is not. Internal mode is very similar to eFuse mode with the exception that in internal mode the setup can be overwritten by GPIO. Supported boards in U-Boot are booting in internal mode loading the U-boot image from a storage (SPI, SD, NAND).
If yes then what steps should be followed to perform internal booting? It would be of great help if commands for performing internal booting is provided.
Please read the documentation.
