Is the limitation period of 3 years under Article 113 of the Limitation Act, 1908, calculated from the date fixed for performance, or from when the plaintiff has notice that performance is refused? I have a case where no specific date was mentioned in the agreement to sell.

If no date is fixed, the three years run from the date when the plaintiff has notice that performance is refused. If you have written notices or a legal notice, that will establish the date of refusal. See PLD 2020 SC 89.

Make sure you also prove that you were always ready and willing to perform your part of the contract (i.e. you had the balance amount ready).
