Nationwide, wakf properties constitute a land bank worth Rs. 1.2 lakh crore and could have generated annual returns of Rs. 12,000 crore but yield only Rs. 163 core, the Sachar Committee had observed. To correct this, the committee had recommended a new cadre of officers, on the lines of the civil services, so that the state wakf boards and Central Wakf Council would be managed better.
The Ministry of Minority Affairs turned down the recommendation, saying a new cadre is neither practicable nor legally feasible.
“There is no legal hurdle in creating the Indian Wakf Service,” said Justice Rajendar Sachar, who headed the Sachar Committee that prepared a status report on Muslims in India. Article 312 of the Constitution provides that Parliament may by law provide for the creation of one or more all-India services common to the Union and the states.
