The fee for a succession certificate is the percentage of the value of the estate that is imposed by the court. This percentage varies from one state to the other state. Normally, it is around 2-3% of the value of the estate.

Thanks, I know that it is a % and in UP it can come to around 8%. My problem indicated above are:

1. is there no document that the court that officially records that X amount has to be paid for a given case? My lawyer just says no angrily. But I should be allowed to verify court fees, right?

2. Should I not be allowed to pay court fees via NEFT to court account? My lawyer is asking me to bring 3.5L in cash bills.

No means of NEFT. But you may deposit the amount in court or pay through challan. But nowadays I think it may be online.

Contact and consult a local lawyer if you are yet to engaged some lawyer.

It appears that the lawyer you have engaged is less than professional. You may seek the assistance of a competent professional.

First you have to know what relief you want from the court, and after moulding your relief in the averments of the plaint it is reflected in the PRAYER of the plaint. In every court there has to be a clerks/taxing officer that determaines the Court Fees according to the value of the relief. In case of dispute on the value of the court fees it is refered to the Chief Justice of the High Court concern whose decision is final. In case of Succession Certificate it is governed by Article 12 of the First Schedule of the U.P.Court Fees Amendment Act ,and that is two percent of the total amount of your certificate..
