If the Company asking you to pay 3 month salary means there must be a specific term in your Appointment Letter regarding the Notice period for resignation , on the basis of which they are claiming the same. If the specific condition is there in it you need to pay them.
Private employment is governed by your employment contract.
For a specific answer to your question, and to look at what all option your have, your employment contract need to be looked into. Generally, there are 2 options available to every employee at the time of resignation.
Either you can serve the notice period specified in the  employment contract or you can pay your monthly salary for the notice period month(s) as mentioned in your employment contract / letter. So you either serve the notice period i.e 3 months or pay 3 months salary to the company.
