You have to get a market value certificate from Sub-Registrar, and depending on that valuation, certain percentage o tax has to be paid. Further the court fees have to be paid on the proportionate share prayed in the plaint. For example if the property valued was Rs.10 laks, if you are eligible for a share of 1/4, you have to pay court fee upto the 2.50 lakh only. In worthy and deserving cases, you can also seek legal aid of Legal services authority, if you are eligible for such financial assistance.

Court fees is a State subject which varies from one State to other. You may be asked to pay ad-valorem court fees for your share, as per circle rates applicable in Rajasthan, which is Rs. 4875+7% of the value exceeding Rs. 75,000 (between the range of Rs. 75,001 to 2,50,000) i.e. less than Rs. 2,50,001/-.

If you are not in physical possession, you might be in constructive possession, if you are claimining/seeking partition, in that case also you are required to pay fixed court fees.

Consult a local prudent lawyer before making payment of court fees.

Also remember that if the possession is with a co-sharer, in un  divided property, it is deemed that he is having possession in his capacity as TRUSTEE for all members in the same family.

Dear Ravi Sharma,

You can pay only an amount of Rs.200/- towards notional value of the property as the court fee and since the value of share can be ascertained at the time of execution of the decree. Even though you are not physically in possession of the property, it is treated that you are one of the legal possessor of the properties held by the HUF.
