Govt notifies waqf rules to step up property registration and monitoring through central portal

The government has introduced Unified Waqf Management Empowerment Efficiency and Development Rules 2025, mandating the upload of waqf property details onto the Central Waqf Portal within six months. Mutawallis must provide comprehensive information, with penalties for delays. State governments are required to publish and upload lists of ‘auqaf’ within 90 days.
