Governed by the Civil Procedure Code, 2017, court fees vary based on claim value, nature of the case, and procedural stage. Certain cases are exempt, and financially challenged individuals may petition for relief. Specific rates apply depending on the property value, appeal type, or subject matter. Additional charges are levied for documentation, authentication, and writ petitions. This article explains how court fees are calculated, legal exemptions, and what litigants need to know before initiating a lawsuit or legal action in Nepal.
