1.30 days;
2.Time starts to run from date of decree or order(read judgement)(see article 116.of Limitation Act
Under the Code of Civil Procedure,1908(b) To any other court from any decree or order.
Thirty days
The date of the decree or order.).

3.No time prescribed for that.

NOTE:One should apply soon after the judgement is pronounced .

It is duty of registry of court to prepare formal decree,where after preparation of copy takes place and it's ready for delivery is notified and in between all time consumed by court's agency is excluded.

Read section 12 of limitation act:

(3) Where a decree or order is appealed from or sought to be revised or reviewed, or when an application is made for leave to appeal from a decree or order the time requisite for obtaining a copy of the judgment on which the decree or order is founded shall also be excluded.

(4) In computing the period of limitation for an application to set aside an award, the time requisite for obtaining a copy of the award shall be excluded.

Explanation – In computing under this section the time requisite for obtaining a copy of a decree or an order, any time taken by the court to prepare the decree or order before an application for copy thereof is made shall not be excluded."

I concur with Prabhakarji.
I would like to add one thing that to prefer appeal decree is not necessary, judgment is sufficient(refer Order41 Rule 1)
