There are reports suggesting the government may propose amendments to the Waqf Act. These changes could limit the Waqf Board’s authority to designate properties and may include mandatory verification for property claims. The government has not yet confirmed this or updated the legislative agenda since the session began.

Unnamed government officials have indicated that these potential amendments align with demands from the Muslim community. The Congress government had expanded the Waqf Boards’ powers in 2013 through amendments to the Waqf Act, 1995, which manages assets for religious or charitable purposes under Muslim law. The proposed new amendments aim to increase women’s representation on the Central Waqf Council and state boards, introduce measures for monitoring properties with district magistrates, and address delays in property surveying.

In the Rajya Sabha, opposition members plan to discuss the functioning of several ministries, including Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, New and Renewable Energy, and Cooperation.
