A Business Today report on the scale and disputes surrounding India's Waqf Boards, quoting the Government of India's 2006 Sachar Committee report's estimate of Waqf property value and revenue potential nationwide.

Facts

Reliability Tier
2
Tier 2: a major Indian business publication's report that names and quotes the Government of India's own 2006 Sachar Committee report by name: the committee's estimate that Waqf properties nationwide could be valued at roughly 1.2 lakh crore rupees and could generate at least 12,000 crore rupees a year in revenue if efficiently managed. This is the outlet's relay of a named government-commissioned committee's own estimate, not the outlet's own figure; the Sachar Committee's original 403-page report is not itself cited here as a separate source, because it could not be reliably extracted.
