AIMPLB urges Muslims to upload Waqf property details before Dec 5 deadline
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has issued an urgent appeal to Muslims across India to upload details of their registered Waqf properties — including mosques, madrasas, graveyards, khanqahs, dargahs, and imambaras — on the UMEED (Unified Minority Mapping and Empowerment for Education, Employment, and Development) portal before the December 5 deadline.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Board expressed serious concern over Section 3B of the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, which makes it mandatory to upload all “registered auqaf” data on the UMEED portal. The AIMPLB, which has challenged the Act in the Indian Supreme Court, warned that failure to comply could jeopardize the legal status of several religious and charitable endowments.
“Time is running out, and failure to upload the required information may jeopardise the legal status of mosques, graveyards, and other religious endowments,” the Board said in a statement, noting that although the court has granted limited relief on some provisions, the requirement to upload property details remains binding.
Meanwhile, it has directed Muslim organizations, imams, religious scholars, and social workers to establish help desks at district, tehsil, and block levels to assist caretakers (mutawallis) in completing the process.
State-level committees have also been formed to oversee the protection of Auqaf and to train volunteers on the technical and legal aspects of uploading property data.
“If any difficulties arise during the uploading process, they must be documented and reported in writing to the respective State Waqf Boards to explore legal or judicial remedies,” the Board added.
