If the loan is repayable in instalments, limitation will start from the date on which the instalment is defaulted. If it is a term loan, limitation will start from the date on which it is repayable in whole. Please check these things.
Re harassment by recovery agents, complain to the police and also to Reserve Bank of India.

You are liable to repay the debt to avoid inconvenience due to harassment and threats from recovery agents.
