Lucknow: Over 12,000 waqf registrations have been cancelled in Uttar Pradesh after an audit of nearly one lakh properties under the UMID portal, raising serious concerns over Muslim community assets and rights.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, officials said most cancellations were due to data entry errors and incomplete documentation. Lucknow recorded the highest with 1,114 cancellations, followed by Bijnor with 1,003, Saharanpur 990, Barabanki 577, and Amroha 85.<\/p>\n

Affected properties include mosque plots, madrasas, eidgahs, imambaras, dargahs, and graveyards, with graveyards accounting for the largest share. Some sites exceed 300 acres. The state has over 126,000 waqf institutions. Under the Waqf Amendment Act 2025, registration is ongoing with a final deadline of June 6, 2026.<\/p>\n

Cancelled properties must resubmit documents by June 5.<\/p>\n

Analysts warned that digitisation shortcomings and tight deadlines risk excluding Muslim stakeholders, effectively depriving them of properties worth billions and undermining institutional trust. K<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
