The above image shows that i gave the field security so thats its visible to only particular groups, but when i accessed the interface from being in that group, i was unable to see the field even though i assigned the security so that it was visible to that particular group.

As you have done matchAllGroups true, you should be part of all the groups in the list for that field to be visible. If you want the field to be shown even when you are part of one of the groups in the list then make this attribute as false and then check.
