An audit of nearly 100,000 Waqf property uploads on the UMEED portal in Uttar Pradesh, India, has led to the rejection of over 12,000 registrations. The UP Sunni Central Waqf Board reported that errors in data entry and inadequate documentation were the primary reasons for these rejections. The highest number of rejections came from Lucknow (1,114), followed by Bijnor (1,003) and Saharanpur (990). Other districts such as Barabanki (577) and Amroha (85) also saw notable figures. The affected properties include a range of Waqf institutions, with graveyards being the most impacted. The UMEED portal, launched in June 2025, is part of an initiative to digitize Waqf properties and improve transparency, making registration mandatory under the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Caretakers of rejected registrations must re-upload their data before the new deadline of June 5, 2026.
