Re: Fees for Serving Legal Notice u/s 138

There is no criterion of fees. It depends on the personal capacity and caliber of the advocate. An advocate with big name can charge as high as 11000/- or even much more. An advocate with not much name or resources may charge even 200/-. The most important thing, u need to see, is that who is the person who can handle your matter and has good understanding of the issue as the notice will be the base of your case and wrong notice will damage it. An advocate with good understanding of the matter only can prepare a good notice.

My fees would be Rs. 1100/- for one addressee and Rs. 500/- per additional addressee.
