Abstract
Jama’at-i-Islami Jammu and Kashmir is one of the living socio-religious Reform movements operating in Kashmir. Right from its foundation in 1945, it is continuing to play its role in socio- political and religious realms. However, the present paper will throw light on its administrative structure, which is open to all Muslims and has a well knit vertical hierarchical system. Besides it has a strong organisational structure right from provincial to village level. It maintains a comprehensive financial system to carry out its functioning and activities smoothly.
