🌾 PMFBY Crop Insurance – Claim Criteria for Rabi Maize III

For every farmer, the dream is simple — a good harvest and a peaceful season.

But nature doesn’t always cooperate — sometimes heavy rain, drought, or pest attack can damage the hard work of months.

That’s why the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) scheme is there —

to help farmers recover from losses and continue farming confidently.

இது விவசாயிகளுக்கான பாதுகாப்பு கவசம் — பயிர் சேதம் ஏற்பட்டாலும் உங்கள் உழைப்பை காக்கும் திட்டம்.

🔹 1️⃣ Claim Eligibility (யாருக்கு நிவாரணம் கிடைக்கும்?)

If you’ve insured your Rabi Maize (III Season) crop under PMFBY in Virudhunagar, you’re already protected.

But to get a claim, a few conditions must be met:

✅ Crop should be insured within the official time period.

✅ The crop you’ve grown must match the details given in the policy.

✅ The loss should be due to natural calamities like:

Flood (வெள்ளம்)

Drought (வறட்சி)

Cyclone or heavy rain (புயல் / கடுமையான மழை)

Major pest or disease attack (பூச்சி / நோய் தாக்கம்)

If the loss happens because of wrong practices or unapproved crops, then it won’t be eligible for a claim.

🔹 2️⃣ How the Claim is Calculated (நிவாரணம் எப்படி கணக்கிடப்படும்?)

The Agriculture Department conducts a Crop Cutting Experiment (CCE) in each area.

This helps to find the actual yield (விளைச்சல் அளவு) of that season.

If your area’s yield is less than the threshold (average) yield, then the insurance company will pay compensation.

🧮 Formula used:

> (Threshold Yield – Actual Yield) ÷ Threshold Yield × Sum Insured

In simple words – if your harvest is low due to weather or disaster, PMFBY will cover your loss.

🔹 3️⃣ Individual Claims (தனிப்பட்ட பயிர் சேத நிவாரணம்)

If your field alone is damaged by:

Local drought (உள்ளூர் வறட்சி)

Flood water stagnation (நீர் நின்றல்)

Hailstorm or landslide

you can make an individual claim.

🕒 But remember – you must inform your insurance company or local agriculture officer within 72 hours of the damage.

You can also contact the PMFBY helpline or e-Sevai Maiyam for help.

🔹 4️⃣ Documents Required (தேவையான ஆவணங்கள்)

Keep these simple documents ready:

PMFBY Insurance Policy / Receipt

Aadhaar card

Land ownership proof (பட்டா / வாடகை ஆவணம்)

Photos of crop damage

Bank account details

You can submit them at your block agriculture office or through CSC centers.

🔹 5️⃣ Claim Settlement (நிவாரணம் வழங்கும் காலம்)

After receiving yield data, the insurance company should settle the claim within 3 weeks.

Once approved, the amount will be credited directly to your bank account (DBT method).

💡 So make sure your bank details are updated correctly when you apply.
