About this template
What is this template?
Form TM-61 is a statutory filing under the Indian Trade Marks Act for paying additional processing fees based on character count. It is not an application for a new trademark, but a supplementary filing for an existing application number. It specifically tracks the 'excess character' count and associated payment at the prescribed rate of Rs. 10 per character.
When should you use it?
Use this form when the Trade Marks Registry requires payment for a description of goods or services that is longer than 500 characters. Use Form TM-A instead if you are filing the initial trademark application.
