Overview

• The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has applied to the Supreme Court to extend the December 5 deadline for mandatory online registration of Waqf properties and to simplify the UMEED portal process.
• The Supreme Court has listed for October 28 multiple pleas on the issue, including a filing by AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi seeking more time for registrations.
• AIMPLB will deploy Waqf Help Desks in every state and key locations, staffed by community organisations and technical professionals to assist mutawallis with document uploads.
• The board is seeking at least a two-year extension, citing frequent portal crashes, 40–45 minute upload times per document, strict document requirements, rural connectivity hurdles, and very low upload progress in Uttar Pradesh compared with 1.26 lakh registered properties.
• AIMPLB approved the next phase of its Tahaffuz-e-Auqaf outreach with a public meeting set for November 16 at Delhi’s Ramlila Ground, and members voiced dissatisfaction with limited relief in the Supreme Court’s interim order on the Waqf Amendment Act (2025).
