Delhi becomes first states to introduce e-court fee system in districts

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today stated that Delhi has become the first state in the country to introduce e-court fee system in all its district courts. She added that the new system was first introduced in Delhi High Court in the month of November, 2012. Smt. Dikshit further stated that all six district courts are since implementing the new system. The last to implement this is Karkardooma District Court, where the system was introduced on 6th of this month.
Dikshit described this as a major step forward in the direction of modern judicial system and e-governed state. Further, it is also an important step forward in the direction of making functioning of the court paperless. The e-court fee system would go a long way in overcoming any possibility of stamp scam like much-talked Telgi scam.

She added that it is a fully computerized interface through its both public as well as lawyers can generate court fee receipts through the authorized collection Centres. A single sheet of paper suffices for any amount of court fee to be generated. In making this possible, the Revenue Department, the Computer Committee of Hon’ble High Court, Delhi and M/s. Stockholding Corporation of India Ltd. have worked in tandem to develop a foolproof system to make the things easy in the courts.

This would also make the functioning of the court fast, result-oriented and hassle-free. It is a unique system, which enables the public and lawyers to get a single court fee receipt of exact denomination, irrespective of the amount, thus, making the entire process of remitting court fee entirely paper-free. The government in recent past has taken wide ranging initiative to provide hassle-free delivery of services to the people.
