The mishap occurred near the Batwara area of Srinagar while the boat was ferrying school children.
The Srinagar administration launched rescue operations at Ganderbal near Batwara soon after the report of the mishap came in.
Incessant rains over the last couple of days have reportedly led to an increase in the water levels of several water bodies, including Jhelum.
Reports said that seven people were evacuated to the hospital where four were declared brought dead and three were undergoing treatment.
Further details are awaited.
