About this subsidy
Under the Jammu & Kashmir Film Policy 2021, producers get back part of what they paid for shoot permissions inside the UT:
- Minimum 50% of total shooting days in J&K — 50% reimbursement of the actual permission charges paid
- Minimum 75% of total shooting days in J&K — 75% reimbursement
It applies across formats: feature films, web series on OTT platforms, original shows and documentaries. The claim is on actual charges paid in the UT, so permission receipts and the shooting schedule are the documents that matter. There is no rupee ceiling stated for this item — the refund tracks what you actually paid.
