Sunni Waqf Board

The Sunni Waqf Board is a statutory body in India responsible for maintaining and managing Islamic religious properties called waqfs, such as mosques, madrasas, and charitable endowments. Its primary role is to oversee these properties' proper administration, prevent their illegal takeover, and ensure the funds are used for community benefits. Established under Indian law, the board represents Sunni Muslim interests and works to preserve religious sites and promote welfare activities within the community. It operates within the legal framework to ensure that waqf properties are protected and managed transparently.
