You will have to read the laws for your jurisdiction. There is a great deal of variance, so without knowing the specific jurisdiction and the crime it can't be answered.

Is there a time limit to obtain an indictment after arrest?

The statute of limitations in criminal law applies to the date of the criminal incident not to the formal listing of charges which is called an indictment. Sometimes a person is indicted and then parts of the indictment are dismissed for statue of limitations problems while other charges remain. Sometimes the entire indictment will be dismissed for statue of limitation problems. Statue of limitation problems in criminal law are case specific and can be quite technical. If you expect to be indicted, you are going to have to have an attorney examine the issues.
