About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal court application for indigent status in India, specifically for use in a Sub-Judge court. It is not a standard plaint or a financial affidavit for divorce, but a specific procedural tool to waive upfront court fees.
When should you use it?
Use this form when a claimant cannot pay the court-fees prescribed by law for a Title Suit No. application. Use a standard Plaint instead if the plaintiff has sufficient means to pay the court-fees at the time of filing.
