The Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995 does not exist as a central or state legislation in India by that specific title as of now. However, it seems like you may be referring to or combining aspects of the following two:
This is a central piece of legislation passed by the Indian Parliament to provide for the better administration of Waqf properties in India.

Objective: To provide for the proper administration of waqfs (charitable religious endowments made under Islamic law), and ensure their use in line with donors’ intentions.
Governing Body: Establishes State Waqf Boards and a Central Waqf Council.

Maintenance of a register of waqf properties.
Prohibition on transfer or sale of waqf property without permission.
