Frequently Asked Questions
How is court fee calculated in Nepal?
Nepal court fees use a progressive slab system: Rs 500 flat for claims up to Rs 25,000, then 5% for Rs 25,001-50,000, 3.5% for Rs 50,001-1,00,000, 2% for Rs 1,00,001-5,00,000, 1.5% for Rs 5,00,001-25,00,000, and 1% above Rs 25,00,000. Each slab rate applies only to the portion within that range, not the entire amount.
What is the minimum court fee in Nepal?
The minimum court fee is Rs 500, which is a fixed fee for all claims up to Rs 25,000. Certain special cases like divorce, property partition, and guardianship also have a flat Rs 500 fee regardless of claim amount (Section 70, Muluki Civil Procedure Code, 2074).
Which law governs court fees in Nepal?
Court fees are governed by Section 68 (basis of fixing court fee), Section 69 (court fee to be paid), and Section 70 (special fixed-fee cases) of the Muluki Civil Procedure Code, 2074 (National Civil Procedure Act, 2017). For a detailed guide on court fee rates, calculation methods, and exemptions, see Court Fee in Nepal: Calculation, Rates & Exemptions.
What is the court fee for a Rs 10 lakh claim?
For a claim of Rs 10,00,000: Rs 500 (first 25K) + Rs 1,250 (5% of next 25K) + Rs 1,750 (3.5% of next 50K) + Rs 8,000 (2% of next 4L) + Rs 7,500 (1.5% of next 5L) = Rs 19,000 total court fee.
