What is it?
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana insures crops against natural calamities, pests and diseases. Farmers pay a small share of the premium and the rest is subsidized. Enrolment happens through banks (with crop loans), CSCs, or directly on the portal, and claims are assessed area-wise after crop cutting experiments.
Benefits
If a notified calamity hits your area, the claim is calculated automatically and credited to your Aadhaar-linked account — you do not need to file separately for area-wide events. The portal shows whether your application was accepted and whether a claim has been generated or paid.
Eligibility criteria
- ✓Farmers (owner or tenant/sharecropper) growing notified crops in notified areas
- ✓Enrolment before the season's cutoff date
- ✓Aadhaar and bank account for DBT of claims
- ✓Loanee farmers are covered automatically through their crop loan; non-loanee farmers enrol voluntarily
Documents required
- ✓Aadhaar card
- ✓Bank passbook (Aadhaar-linked)
- ✓Land records or tenancy proof
- ✓Sowing declaration (crop and area)
- ✓Application receipt number
How to apply — step by step
- Open pmfby.gov.in and click 'Application Status'
- Enter your application number, or search with Aadhaar/mobile
- Check whether the application is accepted and premium verified
- After a calamity, check 'Claim Status' for your season and crop
- If the claim shows paid but money has not arrived, confirm Aadhaar-bank seeding at your branch
- For wrong crop/area entries, contact your bank or CSC before the cutoff date
Important dates
Enrolment closes on season-specific cutoff dates (roughly July for kharif and December for rabi, notified state-wise). Applications or corrections after the cutoff are not accepted for that season.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✓Missing the cutoff date — no enrolment means no claim for that season
- ✓Wrong crop or area in the application, which invalidates the claim
- ✓Believing individual farm damage is covered for all events — most claims are area-based; individual assessment applies only to listed localized calamities
- ✓Not reporting localized damage (hailstorm, waterlogging) to the insurer within the notified window
