## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS

(SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a) to (e): In accordance with the provisions of Section 3(ka) of the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment,  Efficiency  and  Development  Act,  1995,  the  Ministry  of  Minority  Affairs developed and launched the statutory UMEED Central Portal-2025 on 06.06.2025 for uploading details  of  existing  waqf,  registration  of  new  waqf, and for facilitating the overall management and governance of waqf in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Further, Section 3B(1) of the Act mandates that details of all existing waqf and waqf-dedicated properties registered prior to the commencement of the Act shall be uploaded on the Portal within a period of six months. The details of waqf properties registered on UMEED Central Portal-2025 at the end of deadline, state-wise is attached at Annexure-I.

The initial six-month period concluded on 06.12.2025, and accordingly, the Portal was closed  at  23:59  hours  on  the  same  day.  During  this  period,  a  total  of 5,17,082 existing  waqf properties were initiated by Makers on the Portal. Of these, 2,16,937 properties were validated and  approved  by  Approvers,  while 10,872 properties  were  rejected  during  the  verification process.  The  remaining  initiated  properties  were  at  various  stages  of  processing  under  the prescribed maker -checker -approver workflow.

The Act also provides that the Waqf Tribunal may, on an application, extend such period of six months under this section for a further period not exceeding six months as it may consider appropriate and if he satisfies that he had sufficient cause for not filing the details of the Waqf on the portal within such period. In view of the statutory remedy available under the Act, extensions of  time  were  granted  to  the  concerned  State/UT  Waqf  Boards  by  the  respective  Hon'ble

Tribunals/Courts.  At  present,  the  UMEED  Central  Portal -2025  has  been  reopened  for  those State/UT Waqf Boards in respect of which such orders have been received, exclusively for the purpose  of  uploading  details  of  existing  waqf  and  properties  dedicated  to  waqf.  As  on 02.02.2026, the state-wise status of uploading of waqf details across the country on the UMEED Central Portal-2025 is attached at Annexure-II.
