For Example:

Charge created on 20.03.2021, Form CHG-1 filed on 15.06.2021 then fees is calculated according to the no. of days as follows:-

Days lapsed till 31.03.2021 –  11 days

From 01.04.2021 to 31.05.2021 – 0 days

Days lapsed after 31.05.2021 – 15 days

Total Days – 26 days

(Hence, as the form is filed within 30 days only normal fees shall be levied. If total days is more than 30 days then additional fees shall also be levied.)
