New Delhi: The UMEED portal for the registration and digital management of Waqf properties has officially closed, completing its six-month window mandated under the UMEED Act, 1995, and reinforced by clear directions from the Supreme Court.

The portal stopped accepting uploads at 11:59:59 pm on December 6.
