A Fragmented Registry and a 2006 Valuation That Still Stands

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

Waqf administration in India is fragmented across dozens of separate State Waqf Boards, each with its own registration and disclosure practices, so there is no single consolidated audited account for Waqf wealth nationwide, only the Central Waqf Council's oversight of a shared registration portal and periodic government disclosures such as ministerial replies to Parliament rather than any single published annual report of its own.

8.72 lakh, roughly 872,000, immovable and 16,713 movable Waqf properties across India were registered on the WAMSI portal as of December 2024, with a further 994 properties reported transferred or alienated to other parties, Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply on 9 December 2024. Separately, the Government of India's 2006 Sachar Committee, an independent panel chaired by former Chief Justice Rajinder Sachar, estimated the market value of Waqf properties nationwide at roughly 1.2 lakh crore rupees, projecting they could generate at least 12,000 crore rupees a year in revenue if efficiently managed by their respective state boards.
