available only up to a maximum period of two

weeks from harvesting for those crops which

are allowed to dry in cut and spread condition

in the field after harvesting against specific

perils of cyclone and cyclonic rains and

unseasonal rains.

(d) Localized Calamities: Loss/Damage

resulting from occurrence of identified

localized risks of hailstorm, landslide and

Inundation affecting isolated farms in the

notified area. General Exclusions: Losses

arising out of war and nuclear risks, malicious

damage and other preventable risks shall be

excluded.

Important Conditions/Clauses Applicable

for Coverage of Risks

(1) Insurance companies should have

received the premium for coverage either

from bank, channel partner, insurance

intermediary or directly. Any loss in transit

due to negligence by these agencies or non-

-remittance of premium by these agencies, the

concerned bank/intermediaries shall be liable

for payment of claims.

(2) In case of any substantial mis-reporting

by nodal bank/branch in case of compulsory

farmers coverage, the concerned bank only

shall be liable for such mis-reporting.

(3) Mere sanctioning/disbursement of

crop loans and submission of proposals/

/declarations and remittance of premium by

farmer/bank, without explicit intent to raise

the crop, does not constitute acceptance of risk

by insurance company.

(4) Acreage Discrepancy

Some areas in the past have reported

excess insurance coverage vis-à-vis planted

acreage, leading to over-insurance.

For the time-being, it is to be addressed as

follows:

(a) Wherever the ‘acreage discrepancy’ is

likely, the acreage insured at IU level shall be

compared with average planted acreage of

past three years, and the difference is treated

as ‘excess’ insurance coverage after taking

into account sown area data of the revenue

authority.

(b) Sum insured is scaled down in the

proportionate ratio the average of three years’

actual planted acreage bears to the insured

acreage for the given crop.

down sum insured.

(d) Premium (farmer share and Central and

State Government Subsidy) shall be refunded

back to Government of India for the portion of

sum insured scaled down and the amount may

be utilised for improvement of technology/

/research/impact assessment etc.

Once the individual farms (plots/survey

numbers) are digitized and available on a GIS

platform, it is quite possible to overlay the crop

cover as derived using satellite imagery on the

GIS platform to identify the crop and estimate

the cropped area on each farm. This should

lead to identifying the acreage discrepancy

at individual farm level.

3. Crops & Areas covered.— The Scheme

would cover notified crop in the defined areas

(Cluster of Village Panchayats) given at

Annexure V as unit of insurance i.e. each

defined area will be considered as one unit

for the purpose of Crop Cutting Experiments

(CCEs).

The crop wise areas to be covered under

the Scheme for Kharif 2017 season are given

in Annexure-II.

4. Farmers covered.— (a) All farmers

including sharecroppers and tenant farmers

growing the notified crops in the notified areas

are eligible for coverage. However, farmers

should have insurable interest for the notified/

/insured crops.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 3

20TH APRIL, 2017

(b) Compulsory Component

All farmers having been sanctioned Seasonal

Agricultural Operations (SAO) loans from

Financial Institutions (i.e. loanee farmers) for

the notified crop(s) would be covered

compulsorily.

Any loan eligible for compulsory coverage

under PMFBY, if not covered will be deemed

to be self-insured by the concerned financial

institute and claim, in the event of loss shall

be borne by the financial institute.

The Scheme would be optional for the non-

-loanee farmers.

The non-loanee farmers are required to

submit necessary documentary evidence of

land records prevailing in the State (Records

of Right (RoR), Land Possession Certificate

(LPC) etc.) and/or applicable contract/

/agreement

details/other

documents

notified/permitted by concerned State

Government (in case of sharecroppers/

/tenant farmers).

(d) Special efforts shall be made to ensure

maximum coverage of SC/ST/Women Farmers

under the scheme.

5. Indeminity level, sum insured limits,

premium rates.— District wise/crop wise level

of indemnity, sum insured limits and premium

rates are given in Annexure–III.

6. Subsidy on premium.— The Actuarial

Premium Rate (APR) would be charged under

PMFBY by Implementing Agency (IA).

However, farmers would be paying maximum

of 2% (Kharif) for food crops, oilseeds, cereals

and millets and 5% for Annual Commercial/

/Horticultural crops respectively.

The difference between actuarial premium

rate and the rate of insurance charges payable

by farmers shall be treated as rate of normal

premium subsidy, which shall be shared

equally by the Centre and State.

7. Seasonality Discipline.— Loaning and

acceptance of proposal by Branches I PACs

and receipt of Declarations by AIC as well as

settlement of claims will be as per seasonality

discipline in Annexure-IV.

8. Change in crop.— Farmers covered, on

voluntary basis, can buy insurance before

actual sowing/planting, based on advance

crop planning. However, for any reason if a

farmer changes the crop planned earlier, he

should intimate the change to insurance

company, at least 30 days before cut-off-date

for buying insurance or sowing, through

financial

institution/channel

partner/

/insurance intermediary/directly; as the case

may be, along with difference in premium

payable, if any, accompanied by sowing

certificate issued by concerned village/sub-

-district level official of the State. In case the

premium paid was higher, insurance

company will refund the excess premium.

Similarly, loanee farmers can also change

the name of insured crop from the original

crops submitted in the loan application but

such changes should be submitted in writing

to the concerned bank branch well in advance

so that their proposed crops should be

insured. However changes of non-notified

crops to notified crops without submitting the

sowing certificate is not permissible.

CUT-OFF DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF

YIELD DATA BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

Cut-off date for submission of yield data

based on minimum crop cutting experiments

for Crop for Kharif 2017 season, from the

Directorate of Agriculture, Government of Goa

to Implementing Agency (AIC) is as

mentioned in Annexure–IV.

9. Loss assessment, claim settlement and

claim sharing.— Wide Spread Calamities

(based on season-end yield).

Government Department overseeing

conduct of CCEs, under GCES i.e. Single

Series will submit crop wise/notified area wise

yield data to the respective insurance

company within the prescribed cut-off date

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 3

20TH APRIL, 2017

along with results of individual CCEs. The

certificate that CCEs data is being submitted

based on single series would be furnished

alongwith yield data every season.

In order to maintain the sanctity and

credibility of CCEs as an objective method of

yield estimation, the modalities mentioned

below will be followed:

(a) Digitizing the CCE process including

geo-coding (providing the latitude and

longitude of the CCE location), date/time

stamping and with photographs (of the CCE

plot and CCE activity) is a must for all CCEs.

(b) Insurance company would have

complete access to co-witness the CCEs, as

also the digital images of the CCEs and relevant

data in the requisite form by the State

Government. (As outlined in para XXIV.2.m).

A formal letter with the schedule of CCEs

would be given to the respective insurance

company sufficiently in advance without fail

to help them mobilize the manpower if they

so desire.

at IU level are abnormally low or high vis-à-

vis the general crop condition, the insurance

company in consultation with State

Government can make use of various products

(e.g. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index,

etc.) derived from satellite image data or other

technologies to confirm the yield estimates.

In case of significant differences between

these two yield estimates, the matter

should be referred to Technical Advisory

Committee (TAG) at Centre and its decision

shall be final.

(d) Use of Mobile Phone Technology to

improve Yield-data Quality and Timeliness to

increase the reliability, accuracy and speed

of CCE data, it is mandatory to use smart

phones/hand held devices for capturing

images, location of the CCE and for online

transmission of data on centralized server

(e.g. Bhuvan server) would be done for faster

compilation of data and quick claim

settlement. RST and Drones etc. may also be

used for the purpose of increasing accuracy

and speed of yield estimation through CCEs.

Assessment of claims (wide-spread

calamities)

If ‘Actual Yield’ (AY) per hectare of insured

crop for the insurance unit (calculated on

basis of requisite number of CCEs) in insured

season, falls short of specified ‘Threshold

Yield’ (TY), all insured farmers growing that

crop in the defined area are deemed to have

suffered shortfall in yield of similar magnitude.

PMFBY seeks to provide coverage against

such contingency.

‘Claim’ shall be calculated as per the

following formula:

(Threshold Yield - Actual Yield)

x Sum Insured

Threshold Yield

Where,

Threshold yield for a crop in a notified

insurance unit is the moving average yield of

past seven years (excluding a maximum of

two calamity year(s) as notified by State

Government/UT) multiplied by applicable

indemnity level for that crop.

On Account Payment of Claims due to Mid-

-Season Adversity

1. It is proposed to provide immediate relief

to insured farmers in case of adverse seasonal

conditions during the crop season viz. floods,

prolonged dry spells, severe drought etc.,
