## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a)  to  (c)  In  accordance  with  Section  3(ka)  of  the  Unified  Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency  and Development (UMEED) Act, 1995, the Ministry of Minority Affairs has developed and launched the UMEED Central  Portal-2025 on 06.06.2025. The Portal operates on a three-tier user architecture Maker, Checker, and Approver to ensure real-time, verified data entry and maintain data integrity by preventing uploading of irrelevant or incorrect details of existing auqaf. A detailed user manual outlining the manner for uploading details of existing auqaf has been prepared, shared with all State/UT Waqf Boards, and uploaded on the Portal. As per Section 3B(1) of the Act, 1995, all data pertaining to Waqf properties is mandated to be uploaded on the Central portal within a period of six months from the commencement of the Act i.e. 08.04.2025. Details of present status of State/UT Waqf Boards who have commenced data entry on the UMEED Central Portal-2025 is at Annexure-I .

(d) & (e) The UMEED Central Portal-2025 aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the management of waqf properties by automating their entire lifecycle. This will ensure optimal utilization of waqf assets for the welfare of poor Muslims, widows, and other beneficiaries, by preventing misuse and promoting efficient service delivery.

Once the full potential of waqf properties is effectively utilized, it shall significantly contribute to the socioeconomic upliftment of marginalized communities, particularly the poor and women. Proper management and strategic  utilization  of  these  assets  can  facilitate  the  establishment  of  vital  public  welfare  institutions  such  as hospitals, schools, colleges, and orphanages, thereby directly impacting the development and welfare landscape.
