1. The court fees differs in every state as there is no uniformity as regards court fees in each and every state.

2. It is not clear what is the value of the assets in respect of which the court fees is sought for.

3. There is slab of court fees which varies as per the valuation of the assets claimed in the succession certificate.

4. So it is better if you pay a visit to court and meet the court staff.

The stamp duty will have to be paid on the present share value.

Note: If the shares are in the physical form then go ahead and get it converted to digital share otherwise they will lapse after December 2018.
