Notification
3/4/STAT/PMFBY/2019-20/D.Agri
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna Kharif & Rabi Season 2019-20
Reference is made to the Govt. of India, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare, Department of Agriculture, Co-operation &
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) is being continued in State at the Cluster of Village Panchayats level through newly appointed Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited, Mumbai for North-Goa and South-Goa District in the State of Goa for the year 2019-20 (Kharif & Rabi Season).
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 17 25TH JULY, 2019The Scheme will be continued for the year 2019-20 (Kharif & Rabi 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 Harves- ting): Comprehensive risk insurance is provided to cover yield losses due to non- preventable risks, viz. drought, dry spell, flood, inundation, widespread pests and disease attack, landslides, natural fire due to natural causes, lightening, storm, hailstorm and cyclone, typhoon, tempest, hurricane and tornado.
(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 hailstorm, cyclone, cyclonic rains and unseasonal rains.
(d) Localized Calamities: Loss/damage resulting from occurrence of identified localized risks of hailstorm, landslide, inundation, cloud burst and natural fire due to lightening 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 par tner, 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.
(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 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 17 25TH JULY, 2019 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 & Rabi 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 2 % of the sum insured in Kharif Season and 1.5% in Rabi Season or actuarial premium rate, 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 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 17 25TH JULY, 2019 crops to notified crops without submitting the sowing certificate is not permissible.
Cut-off date for submission of Yield Data

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
(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.
