Under the Limitation Act, 1963, if a cause of action for a suit arises when the plaintiff is a minor,…

Section 6(1) of the Limitation Act, 1963 provides that where a person entitled to sue is a minor when the period is to be reckoned, he may institute the suit "within the period prescribed by limitation for such suit after he attains majority". There is no special one-year rule, and the period does not simply run from the cause of action. Section 8 caps the extension at three years from the end of the disability and excludes suits for pre-emption.
