About this subsidy
The Managerial Subsidy under the J&K Wool Processing, Handloom & Handicraft Policy 2020 helps handicraft enterprises pay for managerial capacity — the supervisory and administrative overhead a craft unit needs once it grows beyond a family workshop.
The policy commits the Government of J&K to raising this financial support from the existing Rs 19,104 to Rs 1.00 lakh over a period of 3 years, in the ratio of 50:25:25. In other words the enhancement is phased across three years rather than granted at the full amount from day one.
For a handicraft unit, this is one of the few operating-cost subsidies in the policy, as opposed to a capital or marketing incentive.
