My uncle, who was unmarried and worked for the state government, recently passed away. He had three brothers, and his office is asking for a succession certificate. We’re facing difficulty paying the court fee, as it’s quite high. Is there any way to get help or an alternative solution to this situation?

Indian law does not offer any specific exemption from court fees for succession certificates based on financial hardship. However, you can explore applying for a waiver or reduction in court fees based on your financial situation. Additionally, consider approaching a legal aid organization or seeking guidance from a lawyer regarding alternative legal avenues for obtaining the succession certificate.
