Court Fee Calculator
The Court Fee Calculator (/court-fees) lets you estimate the court fee payable for a plaint, petition, or application under the Delhi court fee schedule.
Selecting the court level
Choose one of four court levels:
| Level | Examples |
|---|---|
| District / Sessions Court | Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Saket, Rohini, etc. |
| High Court | Delhi High Court |
| Supreme Court of India | SCI |
| Tribunal / Special Court | NGT, CAT, NCLT, etc. |
Fee types
Ad valorem (value-based) fees
For suits where the fee is a percentage of the claim value:
- Select the court level
- Choose the cause of action / suit type from the dropdown
- Enter the claim value in rupees
- The calculator applies the correct slab from Annexure A of the Delhi Court Fees Act and shows the exact fee
The fee table uses cumulative slabs — meaning different rates apply to different portions of the claim value, not a flat rate on the whole amount. The breakdown shows what portion of the claim falls into each slab.
Fixed fees
For matters with a flat fee regardless of claim value (e.g., Vakalatnama, Talbana, Inspection fee, Certified copies):
- Select the court level
- Choose the fee type from the fixed-fee list
- The fee is shown immediately — no claim value needed
Reading the result
The result panel shows:
- Total court fee — the amount to be paid
- Calculation method — ad valorem or fixed
- Slab breakdown — (for ad valorem) each slab, rate, and sub-total
