Few lines are quoted, may be helpful:
The Telegraph : Wednesday, July 26, 2006 |

The cost of probate varies according to the property’s value mentioned in the will. Chatterjee says, “The court appoints a valuer to assess the property’s value.” However, there is a maximum limit to the probate cost and in West Bengal the limit is Rs 50,000.
