Vision

This policy sets the vision up till 2026, with the aim of maximizing the potential of both the Jammu & Kashmir film servicing industry as well as the promising local film sector. This policy will serve to transform Jammu & Kashmir into a unique film destination.

Single Window Cell

There shall be a simple process for grant of permissions through a single-window mechanism to the production houses for film making in Jammu and Kashmir. This will incentivize and boost domestic and international film production in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Single Window mechanism shall be headed by the Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Film Development Council (JKFDC). Film makers shall have to apply online through the J&K Single Window portal jkfilm.jk.gov.in. He/she will have to upload all the necessary documents and relevant details required on the portal such as location information, script etc.

For permission of locations and script screening two separate appraisal committees shall be constituted, namely-

  • Location Permission Committee headed by respective Divisional Commissioner and
  • Script Screening Committee headed by an eminent person as Chairman and three members from the field of film making/ script writing/ art/ culture or any relevant field related to film making and nominated by JKFDC, shall be constituted. (Annexure III) Chairman Single Window Cell shall grant approval/rejection/approval with conditions to the film makers within shortest possible time (2 to 4 weeks of filing of complete application on the single window portal) based on the recommendations of the appraisal committees. This will facilitate the promotion of film tourism including clearance for film shooting in the UT through a transparent and seamless process.

The appraisal committees will facilitate coordination with UT/Union Government bodies such as Airport Authority of India, Archaeological Survey of India, etc with regard to their jurisdiction. The final permission so accorded shall contain the details of Nodal Administrative Officer and Nodal Security Officer. The Nodal Administrative Officer shall be an officer from the administration, who shall be nominated and whose details will be shared in the permission certificate granted for shooting/film making. He/she shall be responsible for facilitating the shooting from administrative point of view post grant of permission for shooting on matters other than police/security.
