Deadline Nears for Waqf Property Registration on UMEED Portal Across States
The UMEED portal, launched by the Ministry of Minority Affairs to digitise and monitor Waqf properties across India, has a registration deadline in early June 2026. Andhra Pradesh's Waqf Board Chairman urged timely registration, emphasizing asset protection and legal safeguards. In Uttar Pradesh, over 13,000 Waqf establishments have yet to upload documents, with officials warning of penalties for caretakers who delay. Authorities denied claims that non-compliance would lead to government takeover, stating properties will remain Waqf and caretakers may be replaced to ensure compliance.
