About this scheme
Under the Jammu & Kashmir Film Policy 2021, a producer can recover a portion of the shoot permission fees paid within the Union Territory:
- **At least 50% of total shooting days in J&K** — 50% of the actual permission charges paid is reimbursed - **At least 75% of total shooting days in J&K** — 75% is reimbursed
Feature films, OTT web series, original shows and documentaries all fall within its scope. Since the claim is calculated on the charges actually paid in the UT, permission receipts and the shooting schedule are the documents that matter.
No rupee ceiling is specified for this component — the refund is linked to the amount actually paid.
