Is there an upper age limit for the IGCSE, O levels, AS levels and A levels as a private candidate?
First of all, no there isn’t any upper age limit for the aforementioned education systems. British Council doesn’t any strict age restrictions on these examinations. However, it is still recommended that you take your O level/IGCSE examinations during the age of 14 to 17 years, AS levels the following year, and lastly A level examinations next year, when you are 16–19 years old.During my O Level years, I knew people who were at the age to have gone to university for their Bachelors, but still seemingly were stuck with the rest of the sixteen year olds taking the examinations. They didn’t face any sort of problems, so don’t worry, you’ll be fine.

What after class X IGCSE in India?
After class X (IGCSE), the child can continue with A-levels, which is an equivalent to 12th in India. A-level examinations are conducted by CIE itself. The child can also switch to the state board if he/she wants (atleast in Maharashtra, they can) for giving 12th grade exams. As you mentioned, your child is just 3 and honestly, it doesn't matter where he/she goes now for studying. You can easily change your child's education board till 6th grade. Your child will be easily able to switch. It is not recommended to switch after 6th because then, the syllabus and methodology changes which a child may find difficult to adjust to. Also, one disadvantage international students have is that for college admissions, state board just takes into account best 5 subjects' marks while for Igcse students, all the subjects are counted, which reduces the overall percentage (as the maximum marks increases, chances of getting a high percentage reduces). So, for example, Venkatesh (a state board student) gets 645 out of 700.English- 82Hindi- 91Chemistry- 93Physics- 94Biology- 89Mathematics- 99Computers- 97The best 5 subject marks will be for English (mandatory), Mathematics, Computers, Physics, Chemistry. The total will be 465/500 which is 93%.Gaurav, an IGCSE student gets the same marks in all subjects. There will be no best of 5 facility for him. Thus, he'll get 92.1% only, a difference of 0.9% which can affect a lot because of the immense competition. If the child continues with A levels though, then he'll not face any problems because then the percentage doesn't matter much because not many people go for A-levels and therefore, there isn't much competition for entry into colleges. You can read and get to know more about IGCSE on their website.Cambridge International Examinations Feel free to comment and I'll try to answer your query. Hope this helps you.
