Court fee for civil suit - money borrowed

Respected Sir
A woman borrowed Rs.12 Lakh from my aunt and failed to return it. We are going to file a recovery suit against that woman. I want to know the court fees for filing the civil suit against her. Both parties belong to Chennai. Kindly let me know the the total court fees that would be incurred for filing the civil suit at Madras High Court.

Generally Money recovery suit need to be filed within 3 years from date of execution of Pronote/ Any written Undertaking.Please note that money recovery suit shall not be filed in High Court.

The suit to be filed in concerned Junior Civil Judge/ Sr.Civil Judge Court only.

The court fee shall be determined on the basis of amount involved and please do insult local advocates for further guidance.
