## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंालय म राय मंी (SHRI GAJENDRA SINGH SHEKHAWAT)

- (a): Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) was introduced from Kharif 2016 season. State-wise  details  of  sum  insured    under  PMFBY  since  2016-17  and  under  erstwhile  crop insurance schemes before that during 2014-15 and 2015-16 are at Annexure-I.
- (b): As  per  the  scheme  provisions,  crop  insurance  is  available  to    both  loanee  and  nonloanee  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 for upto a maximum insured area of 7 hectares only for the notified crops in notified areas under the scheme.      However, from Kharif 2017 season onwards, the said limit has been removed.
- (c) & (d): 26  States  and  Union  Territories  implemented  the  scheme,  so  far.      State-wise details of loanee and non-loanee farmer applicants who availed benefit of PMFBY during 201617 and 2017-18 (both Kharif and Rabi) are at Annexure-II.
