Waqf rules on portal, database of properties notified

New Delhi: The Centre has notified the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Rules, 2025, regarding multiple aspects of the newly amended legislation, including the portal and database of the properties, audit and maintenance of accounts. This will set in motion the process for uploading and updating Waqf properties on the portal. The Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Minority Affairs will monitor the operational control of the portal and database. The portal and database will auto-generate a unique identification number for each Waqf property on record. It will be used for all future references and to ensure tracking and monitoring of the properties, reported a leading law portal. According to the notified rules, mutawallis will be entrusted to enrol it on the portal and database by using their mobile number and e-mail address. In case there is a complaint of wrongful declaration of any property as Waqf, the probe has to be completed by the designated government officer within a year of the reference from the District Collector.
