3/4/STAT/PMFBY/2017-18/D.Agri

PRADHAN MANTRI FASAL BIMA YOJNA RABI SEASON 2017

Reference is made to the Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers'

Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) is being continued in State at the Cluster of Village Panchayats level through the HDFC ERGO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY LTD in North Goa District and SBI GENERAL2001 Suggestions are welcomed on e-mail: dir–[email protected] OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 31 1ST NOVEMBER, 2018 INSURANCE COMPANY LTD. in South Goa District.

The scheme will be continued during Rabi 2018-19 season on the following conditions:–

1. Implementing Agency.— The district wise implementing agency is given in Annexure–I.

2. Risks covered and exclusion.— Following stages of the crop and risks leading to crop loss are covered under the scheme:–

(a) Prevented Sowing/Planting Risk: Insured area is prevented from sowing/ /planting due to deficit rainfall or adverse seasonal conditions.

(b) Standing Crop (Sowing to Harvesting): Comprehensive risk insurance is provided to cover yield losses due to non-preventable risks, viz. Drought, Dr y spells, Flood, Inundation, Pests and Diseases, Landslides, Natural Fire and Lightening, Storm, Hailstorm, Cyclone, Typhoon, Tempest, Hurricane and Tornado etc.

(c) Post-Harvest Losses: Coverage is 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.

(e) 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 discre- pancy' 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.

(c) Claims shall be calculated on the scaled

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 estimate2002 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 31 1ST NOVEMBER, 2018 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 Rabi 2018-19 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.

(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.

(c) Voluntary Component.— 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. Indemnity 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 1.5% (Rabi) 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/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 Rabi 2018-19 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 Depar tment 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 alongwith 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.

(c) Wherever the yield estimates reported 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 smar t 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.
