- (a): Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has been under implementation in the country since Kharif 2016 season.  State-wise details of the amount insured during 2016-17 (both Kharif 2016 and Rabi 2016-17)  under PMFBY  are given in Annexure.
- (b): As per the scheme provisions, crop insurance is available to  both loanee and non-loanee farmers from all categories including sharecroppers, tenants etc. irrespective  of  their  land  holding  status.    In  Rajasthan  during  2016-17,  to  benefit maximum  number  of  farmers  and  to  ensure  judicious  use  of  the  subsidy,  the  State Government capped the premium subsidy towards all eligible farmers upto a maximum insured area of 7 hectares only for the notified crops in notified areas under the scheme. Farmers  could  however,  insure  their  crops  above  7  hectares  also  by  paying  full premium.   From Kharif 2017 season, the said limit has been removed.

(c) & (d): 26 States and Union Territories implemented the scheme during 2016-17. State-wise  details  of  loanee  and  non-loanee  farmer  applicants  who  availed  benefit  of PMFBY during 2016-17 (both Kharif 2016 and Rabi 2016-17) are annexed.
