The State Government implements the Scheme
through selected Insurance Companies [IA-
Implementing Agency]. The IA provides facility of
crop insurance to the farmers.

1. The State Government bears 100% of premium
as subsidy for all Notified crops except the
commercial crops- Potato and Sugarcane.
2. The State Government monitors implementation
of the scheme so that the willing farmers are
insured by the IA and the insured farmers get
compensation in case of their crop loss.

Only those crops which are notified by the State
Government before commencement of a crop
season will be covered under crop insurance.

The farmer does not need to pay any premium for
Notified crops except for Potato and Sugarcane.
The State Government bears 100% of premium.
For Potato and Sugarcane, farmers have to bear up
to 4.85% of sum insured (SI) and the State
Government would bear the excess premium, if it is
above 4.85%.

Sum Insured per hectare is equal to the Scale of
Finance (SOF) for the crop as decided by the
District Level Technical Committee and notified by
the State Government from time to time.

Indemnity level is the percentage of average yield upto which compensation is assured. There are three (3) levels of Indemnity depending on the risk level of the crops:- High (70%) ; Moderate (80%) and Low (90%). 

 | It is the Average Yield [average yield of best five years of the last seven years] multiplied by the Indemnity level.

All farmers including sharecroppers and tenant farmers growing the notified crops in the notified areas and having insurable interest are eligible 

 | The State Government and the Insurance Companies make wide publicity about the Scheme well ahead in each season. Farmers have to visit the village level camps organized by the IA or the Block level offices of the Agriculture Department along with the requisite documents, viz. Voter Card, Land documents and Bank account details etc. and apply in the prescribed form or through BSB mobile App.

 | The farmer who has applied for crop insurance can visit the BSB Portal (https://banglashasyabima.net).  He / She can view his / her insured crop details in  the Farmer Corner by inserting the Voter Card No. The provisional insurance certificate can also be downloaded. 

Claim assessment is done either on the basis of Crop Cutting Experiments or through remote sensing technologies by monitoring the Crop Health Factor of the notified crop. 

 | Crop Health Factor is derived from the satellite data and rainfall / weather data to arrive at shortfall in expected yield of each notified crop.

1.  Prevented sowing / Failed sowing – for major crops2.  Mid-season adversity – for major crops. 
3.  Season end claims – for all notified crops.

Farmer can inform about his crop damage through the toll free number of the Insurance Company and also through email. They may also report their crop loss to the Assistant Director of Agriculture of the block.  

 | The farmer who has insured his/her crop and has any sort of grievance, can lodge complaint in the Farmer Corner of the BSB Portal or through the toll free number or email id of Insurance Company. The farmer can also lodge a complaint with the Asst. Director of Agriculture of the Block.
