ABSTRACT
This chapter from section 72 to 82 deals with the finances of the State Waqf Boards. Payment of Waqf Fund Contribution by the waqf institutions from their income to the Waqf Board or from the annuity; powers of the Waqf Board to borrow funds with the approval of the State Government; Budget, Finances, Accounts and Audit of the State Waqf Boards; recovery of dues to the Waqf Boards as arrears of Revenue, etc., will be discussed in this chapter. The Waqf Amendment Act 2013 has attempted to strengthen the role of Waqf Boards by making a provision that Orders under the Land Acquisition Act in respect of waqf lands shall not be passed without consulting the State Waqf Board concerned. The Chief Executive Officer of the State Waqf Board has been authorised to file an application before the Waqf Tribunal to evict the unauthorised occupants.
