How to compute court fee to be paid on plaint ?

The court fee to be paid on a plaint (a document that initiates a legal proceeding) varies depending on the jurisdiction and the specific case. In general, the court fee is calculated based on the amount of the claim or the value of the property in dispute. In India, the court fee is calculated based on the Indian Court Fees Act of 1870. It is usually a percentage of the value of the claim or the property in dispute. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer or check with the specific court where the case will be filed to determine the exact court fee that needs to be paid.

An example of court fee calculation in India would be as follows:

Let's say an individual is filing a suit for recovery of money and the amount claimed is INR 50,000. As per the Indian Court Fees Act, the court fee to be paid would be 2% of the claim amount, which in this case would be INR 1000.

Another example would be a suit for recovery of possession of immovable property where the value of the property is INR 10,00,000. As per the Indian Court Fees Act, the court fee to be paid would be 1% of the value of the property, which in this case would be INR 10,000.

It's worth noting that these are examples and the fee may be different based on the state and the court where the case is filed, and that there are different court fee for different type of suits and proceedings. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer or check with the specific court where the case will be filed to determine the exact court fee that needs to be paid.
