Maharashtra Waqf Tribunal Grants Six-Month Extension, Orders UMEED Portal Fixes

The order links extra time to a fully functional UMEED system to force quick fixes to a glitch‑plagued rollout.

Overview

  • The six-month extension for uploading Waqf property data will start only once the portal operates 24/7 without technical glitches for the Board and all institutions.
  • Central officials were directed to fix all defects within 10 days, with any nonfunctional period to be compensated by additional time.
  • Authorities were restrained from taking adverse action against mutawallis during the remedial period ordered by the Tribunal.
  • The Maharashtra Board reported submitting details for about 36,000 institutions but said only roughly 50,000 of an estimated 75,000 properties could be uploaded due to portal issues.
  • Following a Supreme Court suggestion to route relief through state tribunals, Uttarakhand set new regional deadlines, giving Garhwal until February 6, 2026, and Kumaon until April 15, 2026.
