The Uttar Pradesh government announced that the state has surpassed others in digitally registering Waqf properties nationwide. Data reveals that 92,832 properties were registered on the Ummeed portal—a platform mandated by the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs—with the state leading the effort within the designated timeframe.

Despite the deadline being extended by another six months past December 5, 2025, Uttar Pradesh completed its registration prior to any further delays. The breakdown includes 86,347 Sunni and 6,485 Shia Waqf properties, showing the state's substantial contribution as compared to other states across India.
