About this subsidy
The J&K Wool Processing, Handloom & Handicraft Policy 2020 offers a one-time working capital subsidy to handloom units that source and produce locally.
The subsidy is to the extent of 10% of the working capital for one year, not exceeding Rs 5.00 lakh, and is given to eligible units utilising local resources for the production and marketing of handloom products.
The local-resource condition is the distinguishing eligibility test here: the incentive is designed to pull demand towards J&K wool and yarn rather than imported inputs. Because it is one-time, it is worth claiming in a year when working capital deployment is at its peak.
