About this scheme
Under the Jammu & Kashmir Film Policy 2021, the subsidy ceiling for a producer's **second film** shot in the UT is higher than for a first, a structure designed to reward repeat shooting activity in the region.
Two slabs apply, both capped at 25% of the total Cost of Production (COP):
- **At least 50% of total shooting days in J&K** — up to ₹1.25 crore, or 25% of COP, whichever is lower - **At least 75% of total shooting days in J&K** — up to ₹1.75 crore, or 25% of COP, whichever is lower
Because the 25%-of-COP limit operates in either slab, the rupee amounts function as maximums and not as guaranteed payouts. Records of shooting days within the UT carry decisive weight as evidence.

Frequently asked questions
How much can a second film claim?
The maximum rebate is ₹1.25 crore where at least 50% of shooting days are in J&K, or ₹1.75 crore where at least 75% are; in either case the amount cannot exceed 25% of the total Cost of Production, whichever is lower.
Why is it higher than the first film slab?
Under the Film Policy 2021, the maximum support payable rises with every additional film shot in the Union Territory, which gives producers an incentive to come back.
Does the percentage or the rupee cap apply?
The applicable amount is the lower of the rupee ceiling or 25% of the total Cost of Production.
What evidence is needed?
For a film shot within the Union Territory, you will need the shooting-day records maintained there, along with a certified Cost of Production statement.
