I haven't come across music as yet where chord iii is used in a chord progression. I read somewhere that generally chord iii is not used, or very rarely used. Is this correct?
If chord iii is used, can you state examples?

Not posting an answer..because why am I even awake, and I don’t have examples at hand, but iii is diatonic to a major key. Pretty sure it’s used all the time.

iii is used, I'm not sure where you heard that it wasn't really used much.
Sure, you could argue that it's used less than other diatonic chords, (Em in the chart for chords, according to this site), but it's nowhere near the point where people would hear it and go, "Whoa! What's that chord?". In popular music especially, it's often kind of a substitute for the I chord, since it shares two of the notes.
For a more classical example, try Pachelbel's Canon, or really any circle-of-fifths progression. In a more popular (as opposed to classical) tradition, "Hey there Delilah" uses it to great effect in contrast to the I chord.
Jazz musicians use this (or sometimes a related substitute) all the time, in iii-vi-ii-V-I progressions. It's ubiquitous!
I wouldn't trust any website claiming that no one uses the iii chord with no qualifications or caveats at the end of that statement.
