मौसम आधारित फसल इंश्योरेंस की जानकारी

Adverse weather conditions are one of the biggest challenges faced by Indian farmers, often resulting in significant crop losses. Recognising this, the Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) was introduced to provide financial security and mitigate the hardships of farmers. Unlike traditional crop insurance that relies on yield-based assessments, WBCIS uses weather parameters such as rainfall, temperature, and humidity as "proxies" to calculate losses. This innovative approach ensures faster claims processing and transparency, providing a lifeline to farmers nationwide.

Objective of Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme

The Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme aims to safeguard farmers from financial distress caused by unpredictable weather. Key objectives include:

- Mitigating crop losses due to adverse weather conditions like drought, excess rainfall, and frost.

- Encouraging farmers to adopt modern and resilient farming techniques.

- Providing financial stability and enhancing confidence in agricultural practices.

- Promoting the use of technology for weather data collection and assessment.

- Offering faster and transparent claim settlements based on weather triggers.

Reinstatement Benefits

Unlimited reinstatement of the sum insured upto 100% SI after its depletion

Benefits of Restructured Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme

The Restructured Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (RWBCIS) provides several benefits:

- Reduced Risk: Farmers are safeguarded against weather uncertainties.

- Cost-Effective: Affordable premiums ensure easy accessibility.

- Quick Claims: Automated processes enable faster payouts.

- Enhanced Transparency: Weather data ensures impartial claim settlements.

- Wider Reach: Covers food crops, oilseeds, and commercial crops.

By addressing both financial and operational challenges, RWBCIS strengthens the agricultural ecosystem.

Comparison between National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS) and Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS)

While both schemes aim to protect farmers, WBCIS offers a more streamlined and efficient approach. Here's a comparison:

- Risk Coverage: NAIS covers all risks, including pest infestations, while WBCIS focuses on weather-related risks like rainfall, temperature, and humidity.

- Data Requirements: NAIS relies on historical yield data (10+ years), whereas WBCIS requires up to 25 years of weather data.

- Claim Assessment: NAIS involves crop-cutting experiments, making it time-consuming. WBCIS eliminates this process by using weather data for quicker claim settlements.

- Transparency: WBCIS offers higher transparency as it uses objective weather parameters for payouts.

- Cost: NAIS incurs high assessment costs, while WBCIS significantly reduces these costs through its parametric model.

How Does the Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) Operate?

The Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme operates on an “Area Approach,” ensuring uniformity in claim assessments for all farmers within a designated area. Key operational aspects include:

- Reference Unit Area (RUA): Defined by the State Government, this is the basis for compensation.

- Weather Triggers: Payouts are triggered based on deviations in weather parameters like rainfall or temperature from pre-defined norms.

- Reference Weather Stations (RWS): Each RUA is linked to an RWS that collects data to assess claims.

- Adverse Weather Incidences: Farmers are compensated when adverse weather conditions result in crop losses as per the predefined thresholds.

This area-based model simplifies claim processing and ensures timely payouts for affected farmers.

*मानक नियम व शर्तें लागू

कवर किए गए किसान

All the farmers including sharecroppers and tenant farmers growing the notified crops in the notified areas are eligible for coverage under this scheme. However, farmers should have insurable interest on the insured crop. The non-loanee farmers are required to submit necessary documentary evidence of land records and/or applicable contract/ agreement details (in case of sharecroppers / tenant farmers).

अधिसूचित फसलों के लिए, फाइनेंशियल संस्थानों (लोनी किसानों) से मौसमी कृषि संचालन (एसएओ) लोन लेने वाले सभी किसानों को अनिवार्य रूप से कवर किया जाता है.

The Scheme is optional for the non-loanee farmers. They can choose between WBCIS and PMFBY, and also the insurance company based on their requirements.

Weather Perils Covered Under WBCIS

The Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme offers protection against a variety of weather-related risks, including:

- Rainfall: Deficit, excess, unseasonal rainfall, dry spells, or rainy days.

- Temperature: Extreme heat or cold.

- Humidity: Deviations in relative humidity.

- Wind Speed: High wind speeds lead to crop damage.

- Add-on Coverage: Hailstorms and cloudbursts, provided farmers have basic coverage.

These parameters are designed to address the diverse challenges faced by farmers.

Premium Rates of Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme

The premium rates for WBCIS are designed to be affordable for farmers while ensuring comprehensive coverage:

1. Kharif Season: 2% of the Sum Insured (SI) for food and oilseed crops.

2. Rabi Season: 1.5% of the SI for food and oilseed crops.

3. Commercial/Horticultural Crops: 5% of the SI for both Kharif and Rabi seasons.

The government subsidises the remaining premium amount, ensuring that farmers pay only a nominal share.
