कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी ( SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a) & (b): As per provisions of Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), there is no need to file the crop loss/ claims intimation in case of wide spread natural calamities such as drought, flood etc. as the claims are calculated on the basis of shortfall in yield of the notified insurance  unit  at  the  end  of  season.  The  end  season,  prevented  sowing  and  midseason adversity claims are settled on the basis of Area Approach for which yield data/crop damage report are provided by concerned State Government.

However, the risk impacting very few areas/land such as losses due to localized risks of  hailstorm,  landslide,  inundation,  cloud  burst,  natural  fire  and  post-harvest  losses  due  to unseasonal rains/cyclone/hailstorms are calculated on the basis of crop loss assessment at individual insured farm level.   Hence, farmers have to intimate the loss of their crops to the concerned  insurance  company/State  Government/  financial  institutions.    Such  crop  losses are  assessed  by  a  joint  committee  comprising  representatives  of  State  Government  and concerned insurance company.

District-wise details of partial claims paid during Kharif 2020 season in Uttar Pradesh are annexed .  Coverage for Rabi 2020-21 season has been completed recently and claims may be known after harvesting and receipt of requisite yield data from State Government for calculation of admissible claims.

(c): It  has  been  observed  that  certain  district-crop  combinations  have  recurring  claim experience  resulting  in  higher  premium  rates  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Fasal  Bima  Yojana (PMFBY).  State Governments have been requested to examine the  reasons/causes of high premium rates for few crops/areas due to adverse selection, inconsistencies in the cultivation of crops as per the suitability of the climate, inconsistencies in collection of yield data etc. and make suitable corrective measures in collection of yield data, issue weather advisory, advise crop diversification to the farmers etc.

Further, National Rainfed Area Authority (NRAA) has also been requested to Study on Operational  issues  in  implementation  of  PMFBY  to  recommend  effective  implementation strategies for most vulnerable districts.
