1274

HDFC ERGO GENERAL INSURANCECOMPANY LTD. in North Goa District and SBIGENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY LTD. inSouth Goa District.

The scheme will be implemented duringRabi 2016-17 season on the followingconditions:

1. Implementing Agency.— The district-wiseimplementing agency is given in Annexure–I.

2. Risks covered and exclusion.— Followingstages of the crop and risks leading to croploss are covered under the scheme:

(a) Prevented Sowing/Planting Risk:Insured area is prevented from sowing//planting due to deficit rainfall or adverseseasonal conditions

(b) Standing Crop (Sowing to Harvesting):Comprehensive risk insurance is providedto cover yield losses due to non--preventable risks, viz. Drought, Dry spells,Flood, Inundation, Pests and Diseases,Landslides, Natural Fire and Lightening,Storm, Hailstorm, Cyclone, Typhoon,Tempest, Hurricane and Tornado etc.

(c) Post-Harvest Losses: Coverage isavailable only up to a maximum period oftwo weeks from harvesting for those cropswhich are allowed to dry in cut and spreadcondition in the field after harvestingagainst specific perils of cyclone andcyclonic rains and unseasonal rains.

(d) Localized Calamities: Loss/damageresulting from occurrence of identifiedlocalized risks of hailstorm, landslide andInundation affecting isolated farms in thenotified area.

(e) General Exclusions: Losses arising outof war and nuclear risks, malicious damageand other preventable risks shall be excluded.

Important Conditions/Clauses applicable forCoverage of Risks:

(1) Insurance companies should havereceived the premium for coverage eitherfrom bank, channel partner, insurance

intermediary or directly. Any loss in transitdue to negligence by these agencies or non--remittance of premium by these agencies,the concerned bank/intermediaries shall beliable for payment of claims.

(2) In case of any substantial mis--reporting by nodal bank/branch in case ofcompulsory farmers coverage, the concernedbank only shall be liable for such mis--reporting.

(3) Mere sanctioning/disbursement of croploans and submission of proposals//declarations and remittance of premium byfarmer/bank, without explicit intent to raisethe crop, does not constitute acceptance ofrisk by insurance company.

(4) Acreage Discrepancy: Some areas in thepast have reported excess insurance coveragevis-à-vis planted acreage, leading to over-insurance.

For the time-being, it is to be addressed asfollows:

(a) Wherever the ‘acreage discrepancy’is likely, the acreage insured at IU levelshall be compared with average plantedacreage of past three years, and thedifference is treated as ‘excess’ insurancecoverage after taking into account sownarea data of the Revenue authority.

(b) Sum insured is scaled down in theproportionate ratio the average of threeyears’ actual planted acreage bears to theinsured acreage for the given crop.

(c) Claims shall be calculated on thescaled down sum insured.

(d) Premium (farmer share and Centraland State Government Subsidy) shall berefunded back to Government of India forthe portion of sum insured scaled downand the amount may be utilised forimprovement of technology/research/Impactassessment etc.

Once the individual farms (plots/surveynumbers) are digitized and available on a GISplatform, it is quite possible to overlay the


1275

crop cover as derived using satellite imageryon the GIS platform to identify the crop andestimate the cropped area on each farm. Thisshould lead to identifying the acreagediscrepancy at individual farm level.

3. Crops & Areas covered.— The schemewould cover notified crop in the defined areas(Cluster of Village Panchayats) as unit ofinsurance i.e. each defined area will beconsidered as one unit for the purpose of CropCutting Experiments (CCEs).

The crop wise areas to be covered underthe scheme for Rabi 2016-17 season are givenin Annexure-II.

4. Farmers Covered.— (a) All farmersincluding sharecroppers and tenant farmersgrowing the notified crops in the notifiedareas are eligible for coverage. However,farmers should have insurable interest for thenotified/insured crops.

(b) Compulsory Component— All farmershaving been sanctioned Seasonal AgriculturalOperations (SAO) loans from FinancialInstitutions (i.e. loanee farmers) for the notifiedcrop(s) would be covered compulsorily.

Any loan eligible for compulsory coverageunder PMFBY, if not covered will be deemedto be self-insured by the concerned financialinstitute and claim, in the event of loss shallbe borne by the financial institute.

(c) Voluntary Component— The schemewould be optional for the non-loanee farmers.

The non-loanee farmers are required tosubmit necessary documentary evidence ofland records prevailing in the State [Recordsof Right (RoR), Land possession Certificate(LPC) etc.] and/or applicable contract//agreement details/other documents notified//permitted by concerned State Government(in case of sharecroppers/tenant farmers).

5. Indemnity Level, Sum Insured Limits,Premium Rates.— District-wise/crop-wise

Level of Indemnity, Sum Insured Limits andPremium rates are given in Annexure–III.

6. Subsidy on premium.— The ActuarialPremium Rate (APR) would be charged underPMFBY by implementing agency (IA).However, farmers would be paying maximumof 1.5% ( Rabi) for food crops, oilseeds, cerealsand millets and 5% for Annual Commercial//Horticultural crops respectively.

The difference between actuarial premiumrate and the rate of insurance charges payableby farmers shall be treated as rate of normalpremium subsidy, which shall be shared equallyby the Centre and State.

7. Seasonality disclipline.— Loaning andacceptance of proposal by Branches/PACs andreceipt of Declarations by AIC as well assettlement of claims will be as per seasonalitydiscipline in Annexure-IV.

8. Change in crop.— Farmers covered, onvoluntary basis, can buy insurance beforeactual sowing/planting, based on advancecrop planning. However, for any reason if afarmer changes the crop planned earlier, heshould intimate the change to insurancecompany, at least 30 days before cut-off datefor buying insurance or sowing, throughfinancial institution/channel partner//insurance intermediary/directly; as thecase may be, along with difference inpremium payable, if any, accompaniedby sowing certificate issued by concernedvillage/sub-district level official of theState. In case the premium paid was higher,insurance company will refund the excesspremium.

Similarly, loanee farmers can also changethe name of insured crop from the originalcrops submitted in the loan applicationbut such changes should be submitted inwriting to the concerned bank branchwell in advance so that their proposed cropsshould be insured. However changes of non--notified crops to notified crops withoutsubmitting the sowing certificate is notpermissible.

Cut-off date for submission of yield data bythe State Government:

Cut-off date for submission of yield databased on minimum crop cutting experimentsfor Crop for Rabi 2016-17 season, from theDirectorate of Agriculture, Government of Goato Implementing Agency (AIC) is as mentionedin Annexure–IV.

Government Department overseeingconduct of CCEs, under GCES i.e. Single Serieswill submit crop-wise/notified area-wiseyield data to the respective insurancecompany within the prescribed cut-offdate along with results of individual CCEs.The certificate that CCEs data is beingsubmitted based on single series would befurnished alongwith yield data every season.

In order to maintain the sanctity andcredibility of CCEs as an objective method ofyield estimation, the modalities mentionedbelow will be followed:

(a) Digitizing the CCE process includinggeo-coding (providing the latitude andlongitude of the CCE location), date/timestamping and with photographs (of the CCEplot and CCE activity), is a must for allCCEs.

(b) Insurance company would havecomplete access to co-witness the CCEs,as also the digital images of the CCEs andrelevant data in the requisite form by theState Government. (As outlined in paraXXIV.2.m) A formal letter with the scheduleof CCEs would be given to the respectiveinsurance company sufficiently in advancewithout fail to help them mobilize themanpower if they so desire.

(c) Wherever the yield estimates reportedat IU level are abnormally low or highvis-à-vis the general crop condition, theinsurance company in consultation with

State Government can make use of variousproducts (e.g. Normalized DifferenceVegetation Index, etc.) derived from satelliteimage data or other technologies to confirmthe yield estimates. In case of significantdifferences between these two yieldestimates, the matter should be referred toTechnical Advisory Committee (TAG) atCentre and its decision shall be final.

(d) Use of Mobile Phone Technology toimprove Yield-data Quality and Timelinessto increase the reliability, accuracy andspeed of CCE data, it is mandatory to usesmart phones/hand held devices forcapturing images, location of the CCE andfor online transmission of data on centralizedserver (e.g. Bhuvan server) would be donefor faster compilation of data and quick claimsettlement. RST and Drones etc. may alsobe used for the purpose of increasingaccuracy and speed of yield estimationthrough CCEs.

Assessment of Claims (Widespread Calamities):

If ‘Actual Yield’ (AY) per hectare of insuredcrop for the insurance unit (calculated on basisof requisite number of CCEs) in insured season,falls short of specified ‘Threshold Yield’ (TY),all insured farmers growing that crop in thedefined area are deemed to have sufferedshortfall in yield of similar magnitude. PMFBYseeks to provide coverage against suchcontingency.

‘Claim’ shall be calculated as per thefollowing formula:–

(Threshold Yield – Actual Yield)—————————————— x Sum Insured Threshold Yield
