Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust

What Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust does

Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust (JUHHT) is a New Delhi-based non-profit Halal certification body established under Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, India's oldest and largest Muslim NGO (founded 1919, 10+ million members). The organization standardizes and issues Halal certification across India for slaughterhouses, processed food manufacturers, HoReCa establishments (restaurants, hotels, hospitals), and an expanding set of non-food categories including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and nutritional supplements. Its service delivery combines a digital front-end (online application, member login, certificate tracking portal) with field-based, two-person audit teams (one Shariah auditor and one technical auditor) deployed through seven regional offices across India. JUHHT monetizes through transactional professional-service fees: a Rs. 10,000 one-time registration fee, Rs. 2,000 per unit per day in audit charges, plus at-cost travel reimbursement, supplemented by training programs that certify external Halal inspectors. The trust owns a distinct, patented Halal logo and seal used as the unifying brand across certified products, and holds international mutual recognition from JAKIM Malaysia, MUI Indonesia, UAE, GCC, Saudi Arabia, Qatar Ministry of Health, Thailand CICOT, South Korea MFDS, and Singapore MUIS, positioning Indian exporters to access major Muslim-majority import markets under a single domestic Halal certificate.
