Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)
Low-premium crop insurance against drought, flood and pests
PMFBY insures notified crops against loss from drought, flood, hailstorm, pests and disease. Farmers pay a small share of the premium, which is a fixed low percentage of the sum insured, and the government pays the rest. Loan-taking farmers are usually enrolled through their bank, and others can enrol through the portal, a bank or a village service centre before the cut-off date for the season. Karnataka also adds its own share, see the state crop insurance entry.
Rules, amounts and dates can change. Confirm the details on the official portal or at your taluk office before you apply.
