PM Fasal Bima Yojana: A Strong Support for Farmers

Alongside state-level compensation, farmers also benefit from the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), a crop insurance scheme launched by the central government. This scheme offers insurance coverage against crop loss due to natural disasters, pest attacks, or diseases.

Farmers pay a minimal premium under this scheme, and in case of damage, the insurance company directly transfers the compensation to the farmer’s bank account. Most of the insurance premium is subsidized by the central and state governments, reducing the financial burden on farmers.

Key Benefits of PMFBY Insurance

• Protection against loss due to drought, floods, hailstorms, pests, etc.

• Quick compensation for insured farmers.

• Low premium due to government subsidy.

• Financial security during natural disasters.

When Will Farmers Receive Compensation?

The Haryana government has confirmed that the compensation will be transferred to the eligible farmers' bank accounts soon after district-level verification is completed. Farmers can check the compensation status through their local agriculture department or district administration office.

What to Do If You Don’t Receive Compensation?

If an eligible farmer does not receive compensation, they can raise a complaint by visiting their nearest agriculture office or Kisan Seva Kendra. These offices will help resolve issues related to compensation under the state scheme or PMFBY.
