The National Film Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role is an honour presented annually at India's National Film Awards ceremony by the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC), an organisation set up by the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.[1] Since 1984, the award is given by a national panel appointed annually by the NFDC to an actress for the best performance in a supporting role within Indian cinema.[1][2] It is presented by the President of India at a ceremony held in New Delhi.[3] Since the 70th National Film Awards, the name was changed to "Best Actress in a Supporting Role".[4]
