## ANSWER

MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ िष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) to (c) : The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana  (PMFBY) provides for comprehensive risk insurance against crop damage due to non-preventable natural risks from pre-sowing to postharvest  for  the  crops/areas  notified  by  the  concerned  State  Government.    The  scheme  is voluntary for the States as well as farmers.   Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu is not implementing the scheme.  District-wise details of number of farmers enrolled during Kharif 2021 and Rabi 2021-22 season in Maharashtra are given in AnnexureI. State-wise details of number of farmer applications enrolled and claims paid under the scheme during 2021-22 are given in Annexure-II.

The  major  part  of  the  scheme  except  localized  calamities  and  post  harvest  losses,  is implemented on Area Approach basis and season-end claims are worked out on the basis of yield data submitted by the concerned State Government after the harvesting period and reasons for loss/claims are not ascertained under the scheme.
