Question 1

What is a Parcha in Sikkim?

Accepted Answer

A Parcha is the official record of rights — the primary document that lists your name, plot number, land area, ownership type (owner/tenant), and land use. It serves as proof of title in Sikkim.

Question 2

What is the difference between Parcha and Khatian?

The Parcha shows individual owner and tenancy details; the Khatian is the revenue register listing all plots and owners in a revenue circle. Both are important for verification.

Question 3

How do I find my plot number?

Contact the District Land Revenue office or block office with your deed, Parcha, or location details. They can help locate your plot number and provide certified extracts.

Question 4

Can I access land records online in Sikkim?

Accepted Answer

Online access is limited and varies by district. The safest approach is to visit the District Land Revenue office in person. You may also work with a local land advocate for record verification.
