Prevented Sowing/Planting Risk
A farmer is eligible for a cover up to 25% of the SI (Sum Insured) on account of prevented sowing/ planting due to deficit rainfall or adverse seasonal conditions. This is applicable for the cases where the farmer had every intention to sow/ plant and had incurred expenditure for the same.
Standing Crop (Sowing to Harvesting)
Comprehensive risk insurance is provided to cover yield losses due to non- preventable risks e.g. natural fire and lightning, storm, tempest, cyclone, drought/dry spell, pests and diseases.
Post-Harvest Losses
This coverage is available up to a maximum period of two weeks from harvesting, and is applicable for those crops which are allowed to dry in 'cut and spread' condition in the field after harvesting. The coverage is available against specific perils of cyclone, cyclonic rains and unseasonal rains.
Localized Risk
Loss/damage resulting from occurrence of identified localized risks of hailstorm, landslide and inundation affecting isolated farms in the notified area.
The Actuarial Premium Rate (APR) is charged under PMFBY. This rate is applied on the Sum Insured. The maximum premium rate payable by the farmers under this scheme is determined using the following table:
Season | Crops | Maximum insurance charges payable by farmer |
Kharif | All food grains and oilseed crops | 2% of Sum Insured |
Rabi | All food grains and oilseed crops | 1.5% of Sum Insured |
Kharif and Rabi | Annual Commercial / Annual Horticultural crops Perennial Horticultural Crops (Pilot Basis) |
5% of Sum Insured |
Remaining premium will be paid equally by the State and Central Government.
The claim process for Pradhan Mantri Bima Yojana with us, at Bajaj Allianz, is quick and easy.
There is no need for the insured farmer to intimate the insurance company losses due to prevented sowing, as this will be a widespread calamity and assessment is based on area approach. This benefit is triggered when majority of farmers are unable to sow their crop because of weather conditions. The details are as below:
This cover pays for the shortage in yield of the insured crop compared to Threshold Yield (TY) on area approach.
This cover is to provide immediate relief to farmers in case of any widespread calamity or adverse season, wherein the expected yield during the season is likely to be less than 50% of normal yield.

This year there was immense hailstorm, but thankfully I am covered with Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna and BAGIC did a brilliant job in paying my claims. It was settled in a quick and hassle free manner directly in my bank account.

Thank you Bajaj Allianz GIC, for helping the farmers like me who really want protection from these various agricultural risks.
Insurance is a tool to protect you and your assets against a small probability of a large unexpected loss. Insurance is not to make money but to help compensate an individual or business for unexpected losses that might otherwise cause a financial disaster. Basically it’s a technique of providing people a means to transfer and share risk where losses suffered by few are met from the funds accumulated through small contributions made by many who are exposed for similar risks.
Crop insurance is an arrangement aimed at mitigating the financial losses suffered by the farmers due to damage and destruction of their crops resulting from various production risks.
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) aims at supporting sustainable production in agriculture sector through insuring their crop production at predefined level for specific Insurance Unit.
Weather Based Crop Insurance aims to mitigate the hardship of the insured farmers for financial loss in account of anticipated crop loss resulting from incidence of adverse weather conditions like rainfall, temperature, frost, humidity, wind speed, cyclone etc.
It covers major crops of the specific insurance unit e.g. a. Food crops includes Cereals, Millets and Pulses, b. Oilseeds and c. Annual Commercial/Horticultural crops etc.
a. Sum Insured per hectare for both loanee and non-loanee farmers will be same and equal to the Scale of Finance as decided by the District Level Technical Committee, and would be pre-declared by SLCCCI and notified. No other calculation of Scale of Finance will be applicable. Sum Insured for individual farmer is equal to the Scale of Finance per hectare multiplied by area of the notified crop proposed by the farmer for insurance. ‘Area under cultivation’ shall always be expressed in ‘hectare’. b. Sum insured for irrigated and un-irrigated areas may be separate
It depends on crop lifecycle and respective state Government’s notification.
