The Maharashtra Court Fees Act

This authoritative Maharashtra-specific companion to the Court Fees Act turns complex valuation rules and fee schedules into immediately usable practice tools. Beginning with the statutory framework and definitions, the book explains plaint valuation, suit categories and how valuation affects fee liability; it sets out rule-by-rule fee tables, stamping requirements and exemptions for government, poor litigants and specified categories. Practical chapters address fee computation for common remedies — suits for recovery, injunctions, partition, probate, bills of exchange and matrimonial petitions — with worked numerical examples and downloadable templates. The refund and re-assessment chapter walks practitioners step-by-step through procedures to claim or challenge refunds, apply for fee re-determination, and file fee appeals or revisions with illustrative forms and precedents. Also included are checklists for court filing, sample fee memos for clerk use, and a one-page “fee quick-guide” for courtroom reference. Carefully cross-referenced to relevant High Court circulars and rules (state-specific), the book is designed for quick lookups during case preparation and filing, reducing costly mistakes and procedural delays. Ideal for advocates, paralegals, litigants and court staff, it converts fee law into error-proof practice.
