However,  specific  crop  is  notified  by  the  concerned  State Government  keeping  in  view  the  aforesaid  provision.      For  the  crops  not  meeting  the aforesaid conditions, the concerned State Government is free to notify them for coverage under  Restructured  Weather  Based  Crop  Insurance  Scheme  (RWBCIS)    under  which claims payment are being structured on the basis of weather index parameters.
