Bill to amend Waqf Act likely today
The Daily Guardian|August 08, 2024
A Bill aimed at amending 44 sections of the Waqf Act of 1995 is expected to be presented in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, according to top government sources.

This Bill includes provisions to ensure the representation of non-Muslim individuals and Muslim women in both Central and state Waqf bodies. Additionally, another bill will also be introduced to repeal the Waqf Act of 1923.

According to reports, the overall goal is to better manage Waqf properties, which refer to land set aside, under Islamic law, for religious or charitable purposes. Moreover, copies were given to Lok Sabha members Tuesday night ahead of its introduction. The amendment will also rename the 1995 law as the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act.

According to section 40 from the existing legislation, the provision allowed the Board to classify properties; this meant it could declare any of its properties as Waqf.
