About this scheme
The Jammu & Kashmir Film Policy 2021 sets aside its biggest individual disbursement for **J&K regional films that secure international awards** — a special subsidy **between ₹2 crore and ₹5 crore**.
The precise amount within that band rests with the **J&K Film Development Council (JKFDC)**, which determines it on a case-by-case basis; the policy fixes only the range, not a formula.
This support differs from the production slabs elsewhere in the policy. It is triggered by how the film is received rather than by its shooting schedule or budget, and is therefore claimed once an international award has been won.
