What is the stamp duty charges while filing case under section 138 in Maharashtra .What would be charges if cheque amount is 1 Lakh?
A.Dear Sir,
It is a criminal case as such no court fee and stamp duty will attract except advocate fees.
I could have explained more if background is known to me. If background is made known in full then legal experts will be in position to understand correctly. Moreso, the background must be in brief.
Please give me FIVE STAR if satisfied by my answers.

The stamp duty required when case is filed under Section 138 in Maharashtra IS 2% subject maximum to 1,50,000. So for amount of 1 Lakh you have to pay Rs. 2000 as charges in form stamp duty.
Thank You.

A.It will be Court fees of 2% of the cheque amount which is Rs 2000 in your case. It is for 138 Negotiable Instrument Act Case applicable in Maharashtra and probably in other parts of India too as it is central legislation.
