About this subsidy
As part of the Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Policy – 2020, eco-tourism support gives a Tourism Unit 100% reimbursement up to a maximum of Rs 1 lac. The benefit is rationed — a maximum of five Tourism Units per year can be sanctioned.
Because the reimbursement is full up to the ceiling, a qualifying unit recovers its entire eligible eco-tourism spend so long as it stays within Rs 1 lac. The narrow annual quota means the practical constraint is the five-unit limit rather than the amount.
The benefit is claimed under the Tourism Policy's monetary benefits, through the state's single window process, alongside the policy's other tourism incentives.

What You Get
A Tourism Unit gets 100% reimbursement up to a maximum of Rs 1 lac under the eco-tourism support of the J&K Tourism Policy 2020. Only five Tourism Units per year are covered, so the quota is the binding constraint — the full eligible spend is otherwise recovered up to the ceiling. It is claimed through the state single window along with the policy's other tourism benefits.
