### Fee Amount:
1. **For Excise Matters (Section 35B of Central Excise Act, 1944):**
- The fee for filing an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) is **Rs. 5,000/-** if the amount of duty and penalty involved in the appeal exceeds Rs. 5 lakhs.
- If the amount of duty and penalty involved is Rs. 5 lakhs or less, the fee is **Rs. 1,000/-**.

### Manner of Payment:
1. **Mode of Payment:**
- The fee can be paid through a demand draft (DD) drawn in favor of "Assistant Commissioner (Cash)" or "Deputy Commissioner (Cash)" of the concerned Commissionerate.
- Alternatively, the fee may be paid electronically through internet banking, if the facility is available and approved by the department.

2. **Details on DD:**
- Ensure that the DD includes the correct amount as per the fee structure mentioned above.
- Write the applicant’s name, address, and appeal number on the back of the DD.

### Important Points to Note:
