Law Firm Practice Management Software in Sikkim, Free: Cases, Team, GST Bills (Namchi, Gyalshing)

Free Practice Management Software for Law Firms in Sikkim

A law firm in Sikkim with five advocates and two clerks usually has five diaries, a WhatsApp group and one senior who knows everything. When a junior is on leave or moves on, dates and files go with them. e-Court gives the whole chamber one case list, built on eCourts, free.

What a firm or chamber gets

One case list for the firm. Cases imported by CNR from eCourts, plus High Court, NCLT and other matters added by hand.
Team with roles. Add junior advocates, clerks and assistants. Each sees what their role allows.
Case access control. Decide who sees each matter. Useful for family and sensitive matters.
Audit trail. Every change is recorded with who made it and when.
Tasks with deadlines. Assign drafting, filing or inspection to a junior; overdue work is shown first.
Morning hearing list for the whole firm at 7 AM, and reminders 7, 2 and 1 day before each date.
Client portal. Clients see their next date, documents you share and bills, and message the firm per case.
Files per case for vakalatnama, orders, judgments and evidence.

Everything here is free right now: no credit card, and no case limit under the launch offer. Only WhatsApp and SMS alerts, when they launch, will use paid credits that you recharge by UPI. App and e-mail reminders stay free.

GST bills and fees

e-Court raises bills with the SAC code for legal services, and handles reverse charge (where a business client pays GST on legal services) as well as CGST and SGST for clients inside Sikkim or IGST for clients in other states. Set pay-by dates and e-Court sends fee reminders; advances and balances are tracked per matter.

What firms complain about in other software

Trials that end. Many "free" legal apps are trials that turn paid after a few weeks or months. e-Court is free now, with no card.
Per-user pricing. Adding every clerk becomes expensive. In e-Court, team members are part of the free plan.
Built for foreign courts. Generic CRMs do not know a CNR, a cause list or a vakalatnama. e-Court is built on eCourts.
Clients still call. Without a client portal the senior answers the same question after every hearing.

Courts in Sikkim that e-Court works with

High Court: High Court of Sikkim, sitting at Gangtok. High Court matters can be added by hand today; automatic High Court tracking is being built.
District and taluka courts: Every district and taluka court in Sikkim is on the eCourts system, so e-Court imports those cases by CNR number. That covers courts in Gangtok, Namchi, Gyalshing, Mangan, Pakyong and Soreng, and every other district headquarters and sub-division in the state.
Language: courts in Sikkim work in Nepali and English. e-Court shows party names and case details as eCourts records them.

Sikkim is a small Bar, and a single advocate often covers matters in Gangtok, Namchi and Gyalshing.

Rolling it out in a week

Day 1: the senior signs up and adds the team.
Days 2 to 3: a clerk imports running matters by CNR and adds High Court matters by hand.
Day 4: assign each case to the advocate who appears in it.
Day 5 onwards: invite clients to the portal and stop sending dates on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

How many users can a firm add?

Junior advocates, clerks and assistants can all be added to the firm with role-based permissions, as part of the free plan.

Can a client see other clients' cases?

No. A client sees only the matters the firm has linked to them, and the firm decides who inside the team sees each case.

Can we export or keep our data?

Case data comes from eCourts and your own entries. For data questions, write to admin@mics.asia.

Does it work for firms spread over two cities?

Yes. The case list is online, so an office in Namchi and one in Gyalshing, or in another state, share the same list.
