UPDATE ON UMEED CENTRAL PORTAL | Deadline Completed
The UMEED Central Portal for management of Waqf Properties in India, launched by Hon’ble Minister of Minority Affairs Shri Kiren Rijiju on 6 June 2025, officially closed for uploads on 6 December 2025 (Saturday), completing its 6-month window, as per the UMEED Act, 1995 and the clear directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
In the final count, the momentum significantly accelerated as the deadline approached. Many review meetings, training workshops, and high-level interventions even at the Secretary level injected renewed pace into the process, making the upload surge in the last hours.
5,17,040 Waqf properties were initiated on the Portal
2,16,905 properties were approved by the designated approvers
2,13,941 properties have been submitted by makers and remain in the pipeline as of the deadline
10,869 properties stood rejected during verification
To support this massive national exercise, the Ministry of Minority Affairs conducted continuous workshops and training sessions with State/UT Waqf Boards and Minority Departments. A two-day Master Trainer Workshop was also conducted in Delhi to equip Waqf Boards and State/UT officials with hands-on training for the uploading process.
Senior technical and administrative teams were deputed across states, and 7 zonal meetings were held nationwide. A dedicated helpline was also set up at the Ministry office for technical support and quick resolution of issues arising during the uploads.
Since the launch of the Portal, Secretary Dr. Chandra Shekhar Kumar took 20+ review meetings, consistently guiding, motivating, and monitoring States/UTs to ensure timely and accurate uploading of existing Waqf property details.
The conclusion of this phase marks a significant milestone in bringing transparency, efficiency, and unified digital management to Waqf properties across India under the UMEED framework.
