The Waqf Properties are spread out all over the country but even the basic survey of waqf properties have not been completed in most of the States. There is hardly any development of Waqf Properties and therefore, a very substantial income that the Waqf Properties could have generated for the welfare schemes of the community, are lost every year. There is also large scale encroachment of Waqf Properties.

The Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf, submitted its 9th report to the Parliament on 23-10-2008 which recommended computerization of the records of State Waqf Boards at an estimated cost of Rs.25 Crore, apart from other recommendations. The recommendations pertaining to Computerization were approved by the Government of India with an initial token grant of Rs.10 Crores in BE2009-10 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.

How To Do WAMSI Online System Annual Return Filing?

In WAMSI, Annual Return Filing is mandatory for all the Waqf Properties managed by any Manager including State Waqf Board, except those defined as non-assessable during Registration process like purely Graveyard, purely Mosque, etc.

If any Waqf Estate (Graveyard, Mosque, etc) is having attached Waqf Property(ies)) like Rooms, Shops, etc, which could generate Income then they all must be entered as separate Waqf Property(ies) under its Waqf Estate).

Work Flow of WAMSI Annual Return Filing is as follows:
1. Total Income is the Sum of Incomes from all Sources for a particular Waqf Property during the Financial Year under consideration without any deduction whatsoever.

2. Total Expenditure is the Sum of all Expenditures admissible under Wakf Act, 1995 incurred on a particular Waqf Property during the Financial Year under consideration.

3. Next, SWB have to mention the Contribution (%) applicable to that particular Waqf Property (decided by CEO, maximum being 7% as per Wakf Act, 1995). System automatically calculates and shows the Contribution Due (Rs.) in the next Field. Internally, System will keep track of CWC Contribution out of this total Contribution (i.e., 1/7th of SWB). Contribution is applicable only to those Waqf Estates (Waqf) whose Net Annual Income is greater than or equal to Rs.5,000/= as per the central Wakf Act, 1995.

4. Against the Calculated Contribution, SWB have to enter Contribution Receipt(s). Balance Amount (i.e., Difference between DUE and RECEIPTS) will be carried-out in the next Financial Year and will be adjusted in future Receipts.

In WAMSI System, Annual Return is to be filed for individual Waqf Property within the Waqf Estate but the current practice in various Waqf Boards, is to assess the accounts on the basis of Waqf Estates and not Waqf Property-wise. So, Waqf Boards must evolve a working methodology, to first assess the accounts of Waqf Estate manually and then (if contribution is applicable to a particular Waqf Estate) proportionally distribute the Incomes and Expenditures while filing annual return in WAMSI of each Income generating Waqf Property within that particular Waqf Estate. This methodology should be continued till Managers (i.e., Mutawallis, Management Committees, Administrators, Waqf Boards, etc) submits their Annual Returns Waqf Property-wise. Therefore, State Waqf Boards have to continuously impress-upon the Managers to comply this very important aspect while Filing Annual Returns of Waqf Properties.

This is very essential as per the prime requirement of WAMSI to monitor the revenue trends of individual Waqf Properties over a period of time compared to similar property nearby so that appropriate remedial action could be taken to enhance the revenue for running welfare schemes for needy persons as intended by Waqif of Waqf Properties.
