PMFBY Rajasthan

Kharif - 2018

Tata AIG General Insurance Company Limited is working under the PMFBY scheme in Ajmer, Banswara, Barmer, Bharatpur, Jalor, Jhunjhunu, Karauli, Kota, Nagaur, Sawai Madhopur and Udaipur districts in the state of Rajasthan. Under the scheme PMFBY, all farmers including sharecroppers and tenant farmers growing the notified crops in the notified areas are eligible for coverage. It aims at providing cover to farmers incurring loss in crop yield which may occur during sowing or harvesting or post harvesting period. This scheme also covers localised losses for certain perils with farm level assessment. The scheme is implemented in Rajasthan in association with Rajasthan State Government. A minimum subsidised premium (2 % for Kharif and 1.5% for Rabi) is charged from farmers and the remaining share is equally borne by state and central governments. The scheme is implemented on “Area-Approach basis”. For Rajasthan the Insurance unit is considered as Patwar Halka for major crops and Tehsil for minor crops.
