Court fees are charges imposed by the court for filing various types of cases. The fee structure is governed by the Court Fees Act, 1956 (Act 7 of 1956) and its state-specific amendments.

The court fee is generally calculated as a percentage of the suit value or claim amount, as specified in Schedule I and Schedule II of the Court Fees Act. For money suits, the fee is typically calculated at 5% for the first ₹50,000, 4% for the next ₹50,000, and 3% for amounts exceeding ₹1,00,000.

For property suits, the fee is based on the market value of the property, usually at 5% for residential properties and 6% for commercial or agricultural properties. For appeals, the fee is often a percentage of the decree amount or the value of the subject matter, with specific caps mentioned in the Act.

This calculator provides a general guideline for court fees based on the Court Fees Act, 1956 and state-specific amendments. For complex cases or specific legal advice, please consult a qualified legal professional.

Note: The Court Fees Act, 1956 (Act 7 of 1956) is the central legislation, but states have the power to amend the Act and prescribe their own fee structures. This calculator incorporates both the central Act and state-specific amendments where applicable.
