Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju reaffirmed that the 5th of this month remains the final date for uploading Waqf property details on the UMEED Portal. In a social media post, he noted that the Supreme Court has refused the plea to extend the deadline. Mr Rijiju acknowledged that he has received several requests from Waqf Boards and other stakeholders seeking an extension.

He clarified that for any grievance or issue related to Waqf properties, the UMEED Act provides a clear remedial mechanism, allowing stakeholders to approach the Waqf Tribunal as prescribed by law. He further underscored that the Ministry remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the overall strengthening of Waqf management across the country.
