New Waqf portal soon, will enable property registration in a day
Nagpur: The process of registering Waqf properties in Maharashtra is set to become fully online. A new Waqf portal will soon be launched, enabling property registration to be completed in a single day. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This was announced by Sameer Quazi , chairman of the Maharashtra State Waqf Board . On Tuesday, a one-day camp was organised in Nagpur under the joint aegis of the Maharashtra State Minorities Commission and the Board to resolve disputes related to Waqf properties and facilitate immediate registration. During the camp, a total of 25 cases were resolved, with 21 cases from Nagpur district alone. Additionally, one case each from Gondia, Buldhana, Akola, and Wardha districts was addressed. Issues such as pending registrations, change reporting, and correspondence were also taken up. Quazi stated that until now, Waqf property registration was done offline, which was time-consuming. However, following the passage of the new Waqf law, the entire process is being digitised. By uploading the required information and documents on the portal, the registration process can be completed instantly. He said, "Maharashtra has Waqf properties worth approximately Rs 1 lakh crore, many of which are yet to be registered. The Board will now expedite this process. Post-registration, these properties can be better managed, leading to increased revenue and direct benefits for the Muslim community in the state." He further noted that the Waqf board generated an income of Rs11 crore in the last eight months, with expectations of further growth in the coming years. Pyare Khan, Chairman of the Maharashtra State Minorities Commission, stated that the Commission is continuously working to protect the interests of the Muslim community.
