Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) Guidelines - Summary

Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is an important scheme designed to help farmers by providing affordable crop insurance.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (MoA&FW), Government of India (GoI), has consistently worked to make the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) more efficient and transparent. By focusing on automated administration, the scheme aims to reduce manual processes and standardize the implementation method. This is being accomplished through comprehensive Operational Guidelines (OGs) and the use of advanced technology solutions.

All farmers, including sharecroppers and tenant farmers, who grow the notified crops in specific areas, can benefit from this coverage. It is essential for these farmers to have an insurable interest in the crops and lands they cultivate. To qualify, they must submit necessary documents such as land records (like Records of Right (RoR) and Land Possession Certificate (LPC)) along with any contracts or agreements from the relevant State Government, especially for sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Furthermore, these farmers must provide their Aadhaar Number and declare the crops they have sown or plan to sow.

Objectives of the PMFBY Scheme

The main goals of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) are:

To provide financial support to farmers dealing with crop loss or damage due to unexpected events
To stabilize farmers’ incomes, helping them continue their farming activities
To encourage farmers to embrace modern and innovative agricultural practices
To improve farmers’ credit ratings, promote crop diversification, and boost the agriculture sector’s overall growth and competitiveness, while protecting them from production risks.
