    Statutory fee structure

    The bands below come straight from Section 68 of the Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074. Every claim clears the Rs 500 floor first; each higher band applies only to the slice of the claim that falls inside it.

    Claim rangeRate
    Up to Rs. 25,000Rs. 500 (flat)
    Rs. 25,001 – Rs. 50,0005% of this band
    Rs. 50,001 – Rs. 1,00,0003.5% of this band
    Rs. 1,00,001 – Rs. 5,00,0002% of this band
    Rs. 5,00,001 – Rs. 25,00,0001.5% of this band
    Above Rs. 25,00,0001% of this band
    Section 70 carves out a flat Rs 500 fee for a short list of matters — including divorce, partition without a rights claim, guardianship and certain eviction suits — regardless of the amount involved.

    About this calculator

    Before a civil suit reaches the bench it has to clear the registry, and the registry will not stamp a plaint that hasn't paid the right court fee. This tool settles that question in a few seconds — tap in the claim amount and the calculator returns the statutory figure together with the slab maths that produced it, so there is no guesswork when you print the receipt.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does Nepal calculate court fees?

    A progressive slab system set out in Section 68 of the Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074. Every claim pays Rs 500 as a floor, then the portion above Rs 25,000 is charged at 5%, 3.5%, 2%, 1.5% and 1% in successive bands. Each rate applies only to the amount inside that band — not the whole claim.

    What is the minimum court fee payable?

    Rs 500. Any claim up to Rs 25,000 attracts that flat amount. Certain matters — divorce, partition without a rights dispute, guardianship and some eviction suits — stay at Rs 500 regardless of the sum involved, under Section 70.

    Which law governs court filing fees?

    Sections 68 to 70 of the Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074 (the National Civil Procedure Act 2017). Section 68 defines the slab structure; Section 69 covers when the fee must be paid; Section 70 lists the fixed-fee exceptions.

    What would I pay on a Rs 10 lakh claim?

    Rs 19,000 — Rs 500 on the first 25K, Rs 1,250 on the next 25K at 5%, Rs 1,750 on the next 50K at 3.5%, Rs 8,000 on the next 4 lakh at 2% and Rs 7,500 on the next 5 lakh at 1.5%.

    Does this cover appeal or writ fees?

    No. The tool covers the original civil filing fee under Section 68. Appeals, writs, revisions and special-bench matters follow separate schedules in the relevant court rules — confirm those figures with your advocate.
