My advocate repeatedly levies a 10% Clerkage on every invoice. WTF is that, lawyers of India!!? It looks like a 10% service charge that restaurants unlawfully levy - which should be waived without fuss!
Its just another way in which you are scammed to pay more fees. Ideally the clerkage amount should go to the clerk(s) but it does not. Imagine a Senior who charges 10 lakhs per appearance. Has 10 appearances a day. Thats a Crore. Now@10% clerkage the amount supposedly "going" to the clerk is...... multiple by 20 even.... man thats one rich clerk.
In reality- Not happening.
