Re: cheque bounce
If you wish to pursue criminal prosecution of the drawer, no court fee is payable. you should first issue a demand notice; and if you do not receive the money, you may file a criminal complaint under section 138 NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT.
If you would like to file a civil suit, the court fee is payable; the amount of court fee differs from State to State. You need to check the stamp duty schedule of your State.

Yes payment of court fees for filing the case is necessary.
Re: cheque bounce
No court fees is to be paid in such cases. Bouncing of cheque is these days a criminal offence also. Negotiable Instruments Act is applicable.
Legal Notice is to be sent before filing of case.
