Approval for implementation of Pradhan

Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY).

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, 2019

432

The 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.

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 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.

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

433

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.

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

434

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 & Rabi Season, from the

Directorate of Agriculture, Government of Goa

to Implementing Agency 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 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. 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.

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

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

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 17

25TH JULY, 2019

435

of two calamity year(s) as notified by State

Government/UT) multiplied by applicable

indemnity level for that crop.
