GOVERNMENT OF SIKKIM
LAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT
O.O.No. l05/ L.R.
Dated Gangtok the 25th February, 1961.

It is hereby informed for the general guidance of all the Darbar Officers dealing
specifically with registration of documents in Sikkim, that the following procedures should be
strictly followed and observed in cases of transaction relating to transfer of immovable
properties. .
That it has come to the notice of the Darbar of late, that Nepalese .who are marrying
Bhutia-Lepcha girls or Non-Sikkimese marrying-Sikkimese women are acquiring immovable
properties of Bhutia-Lepcha cannot be alienated in favour of a non-Bhutia-Lepcha and that
Non-Sikkimese are not entitled to acquire any immovable properties in Sikkim.
It ,is therefore, to be observed that whenever a transfer of a landed property in Sikkim
happens to be women, the registering officer before allowing the registration of the
document relating to such transfer, should make an enquiry as to from what source the
money for the purchase of the property, where the transfer is by sale, is being obtained by
her, It is also to be ascertained whether the. purchase money forms her actual property, or it
is to be provided by her husband if she is married, in which case such other particulars of
her husband including the community to which he belongs, his home address, what landed
property he holds already in Sikkim etc., should be enquired into first. In the case of transfer
otherwise than by sale also such as gift etc., similar particulars of the husband of the woman
if she is married are to be furnished.. The Registering Officer is to undertake and complete
all the preliminary enquiries as intended ..above, and should then refer the case to the
Dewan of Sikkim with his forwarding report for a decision. Pending specific decision
forthcoming from the authority concerned, the registration of such transfer documents
should on no account be finalized.

By Order,
D.Dahdul,
Chief Secretary,
Government, of Sikkim.
