Notice female put up charges (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fees

'charges' is the definition.
(fee is a kind of charge)

'notice female put up' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'see' (notice can mean to spot or see).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'put up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'see'+'f'='seef'
'seef' back-to-front is 'FEES'.

(Other definitions for fees that I've seen before include "pay" , "Lawyers' charges" , "Fixed charges for professional services" , "Charges, payments" , "Service charges" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
