Overview
- Authorities reported 5,17,040 properties initiated, 2,16,905 approved, 2,13,941 still in process, and 10,869 rejected at the close of uploads on December 6.
- No blanket extension has been granted; those who missed the deadline must approach waqf tribunals, which may allow up to six months’ relief, and the minister said no penalties will be pursued for three months.
- The Supreme Court declined on December 1 to extend the registration timeline, reinforcing a deadline the ministry framed as key to a unified, transparent registry.
- Upload momentum accelerated near the cutoff following 20-plus review meetings led by Secretary Chandra Shekhar Kumar, a master-trainer workshop in Delhi, seven zonal meetings, deployed technical teams, and a dedicated helpline.
- Uttar Pradesh’s Sunni Waqf Board accounted for the highest initiated properties at 86,345 and led in properties initiated for upload at 10,110, underscoring uneven state-level contributions.
