What is the period of limitation prescribed in the Limitation Act, 1963 for recovery of arrears of rent?

A suit for arrears of rent has a three-year limitation period under Article 52 of the Limitation Act, 1963. Time runs from when the arrears become due, rather than from the end of the tenancy. This should be distinguished from a landlord's suit to recover possession from a tenant, which has a different entry and starting point.
