The Sikkim Allotment of House Sites and Construction of Building (Regulation and Control) Act, 1985 governs land allotment and building construction across the state of Sikkim. It applies to individuals, families, legal entities, and government employees. The law empowers the state government to allocate land for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes while restricting families to one plot and setting eligibility rules, including reservations for disabled persons. Crucially, it requires official permits, mandatory seismic safety standards, and architectural compliance for all constructions. By permitting the removal of hazardous buildings, it promotes safe, planned, and equitable urban growth.
