## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS

(SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

- (a)  and  (b):    In  accordance  with  the  section  3(ka)  of  the  Unified  Waqf  Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995, a Statutory Portal i.e. UMEED Central Portal -2025, has been developed and launched  on 06.06.2025 for uploading details of existing waqf  and  properties  dedicated  to  the  waqf,  registration  of  new  waqf,  and  for  facilitating  the overall management and governance of waqf in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The portal  functions  on  a  Maker-Checker-Approver  workflow.  The  information  uploaded  by  the Maker is further checked by Checker and finally approved by the Approver.

As on 09.03.2026, the number of waqf properties initiated for uploading is 6,36,558 out of  which 3,00,127 properties  have  been  validated  and  approved  by  Approvers  while 37,512 properties  have  been  rejected  during  verification.  The  progress  Report  as  on  09.03.2026  is attached at Annexure-I.

Since launch of the Portal the following Modules have been launched so far:

|   SI No | Name of Modules                                 | Date of launch   |
|---------|-------------------------------------------------|------------------|
|       1 | Uploading of details of existing waqf           | 06.06.2025       |
|       2 | Collector Module (new waqf registration module) | 04.07.2025       |
|       3 | Waqf -alal- aulad module                        | 27.08.2025       |
|       4 | Institution Governance Module                   | 03.10.2025       |
|       5 | Litigation Module Management                    | 03.10.2025       |
|       6 | Waqf Property Lease Management Module           | 30.01.2026       |
|       7 | Survey Module                                   | 30.01.2026       |

(c):  As per Rule 3 of the UMEED Rules, 2025, the uploaded data has been examined and instances of erroneous entries, particularly relating to the area of waqf properties, were observed. Accordingly, all State Waqf Boards have been advised to re-verify the area details with reference to relevant land records. One  of  the  modules  of  the  Portal  is  the  Waqf-alal-aulad  Module,  which  has  been designed  to  streamline  the  process  of  providing  benefits  to  widows,  divorced  women,  and orphans from Waqf-alal-aulad properties. It is for improving governance and better utilization of

waqf resources for community welfare.
