About this subsidy
The J&K Wool Processing, Handloom & Handicraft Policy 2020 covers half the cost of getting a handicraft business online.
The policy provides 50% marketing support for registrations of crafts on e-Platforms. For a small Kashmiri craft unit, onboarding onto a marketplace involves listing and registration costs, cataloguing and photography, and platform commissions — costs that are hard to justify before any online sales exist. This support halves the entry cost.
The policy states the 50% rate without a rupee ceiling, so the benefit is proportional to what registration actually costs you.
