EVEN as petitions challenging the validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 are pending before the Supreme Court, the Centre notified the "Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Rules, 2025", dealing with the portal and database of waqf properties.
The Supreme Court reserved its verdict on petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Waqf Amendment Act.
According to the new rules, to ensure tracking and monitoring of waqf properties of all states, a centralised portal and database will be set up. It will be supervised by a Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Minority Affairs in charge of the waqf division.
