Court fees will be on the basis of your claim for compensation. You can file for defamation and compensation. The court fees are calculated at 7.5% on claim amount percentage wise. You can file civil as well as criminal defamation case.

In Madras, the court fees for filing a defamation suit are determined under the Tamil Nadu Court-Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1955. For civil suits not otherwise provided for, the fee is : ₹100 if the value of the subject matter is ₹30,000 or less; ₹500 if the value is above ₹30,000 but below ₹1 lakh; ₹750 if the value is ₹1 lakh or more.
