Delhi civil court fee: how it is worked out
For a civil suit in Delhi the court fee is ad valorem: it rises in slabs with the value of the suit. Up to Rs. 50,000 the scale has several small slabs; above Rs. 50,000 the fee is Rs. 2,832 plus Rs. 48.80 for every Rs. 5,000 or part of it, which is close to one per cent. The table shows what the calculator gives for common values, and which court hears the suit.
| Value of suit | Court fee | Court (by value) |
|---|---|---|
| Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 1,126 | Senior Civil Judge |
| Rs. 50,000 | Rs. 2,832 | Senior Civil Judge |
| Rs. 1 lakh | Rs. 3,320 | Senior Civil Judge |
| Rs. 3 lakh | Rs. 5,272 | Senior Civil Judge |
| Rs. 5 lakh | Rs. 7,224 | District Judge |
| Rs. 10 lakh | Rs. 12,104 | District Judge |
| Rs. 25 lakh | Rs. 26,744 | District Judge |
| Rs. 50 lakh | Rs. 51,144 | District Judge |
| Rs. 1 crore | Rs. 99,944 | District Judge |
| Rs. 2 crore | Rs. 1,97,544 | District Judge |
Which court in Delhi will hear your civil suit
In Delhi, a civil suit valued up to Rs. 3 lakh goes to the Senior Civil Judge, as the calculator shows; above Rs. 3 lakh and up to Rs. 2 crore to the District Judge; and above Rs. 2 crore on the original side of the Delhi High Court, under the Delhi High Court (Amendment) Act, 2015. An increase of the Civil Judge limit to Rs. 20 lakh has been proposed by the Delhi High Court, but the district courts’ own civil jurisdiction documents (for example South West District, September 2026) still show Rs. 3 lakh.
Commercial disputes of a specified value of Rs. 3 lakh or more go to the Commercial Courts under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015. The court complex depends on where the cause of action arose or where the defendant lives or works: find your court in Delhi by police station.

Limitation calculator: counting days
The limitation calculator counts the days between two dates, or gives the date a number of days after a starting date. Under Section 12(1) of the Limitation Act, 1963 the day from which the period is to be reckoned is left out, and under Section 4, if the period ends on a day the court is closed, the case can be filed on the day it reopens. More on this on our limitation calculator page.
