Srinagar, Mar 17: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday announced that insurance companies had disbursed ₹131.68 crore to farmers under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) from 2017-18 to 2023-24, excluding the years 2019-20 and 2020-21.
In response to an un-starred question by M.Y. Tarigami, MLA Kulgam, in the Assembly, the Minister in charge of the Agriculture Production Department shared details of the scheme’s im-plementation. The government engaged three insurance companies for the scheme’s rollout in 2017-18—Reliance General Insurance, ICICI Lombard, and Oriental Insurance. For the year 2024-25, Reliance General, IFFCO-Tokio, and AIC of India have been roped in to continue the scheme.
In 2017-18, Reliance Insurance settled 10,232 claims, disbursing ₹2.66 crore, ICICI Lombard settled 8,513 claims worth ₹3.28 crore, and Oriental Insurance settled 8,036 claims, distributing ₹4.07 crore to farmers. Similarly, in 2018-19, the three companies collectively disbursed ₹27.54 crore. In 2021-22, Reliance General and IFFCO-Tokio paid ₹56.03 crore, while in 2022-23, they disbursed ₹6.44 crore.
For 2023-24, the same three companies—Reliance General, IFFCO-Tokio, and AIC of India—settled a total of 64,964 claims, disbursing ₹31.66 crore: ₹20.42 crore by Reliance, ₹6.99 crore by IFFCO-Tokio, and ₹4.25 crore by AIC of India.
The government also highlighted that the scheme, which began in 2017-18, initially covered 10 districts of Jammu Division, benefitting 1.58 lakh farmers. By 2024-25, the coverage will expand to 20 districts, excluding four districts during the Rabi season, with 2.08 lakh farmers covered under the scheme.
Regarding crop-wise coverage, the government noted that in 2017-18, farmers growing paddy (39,101), maize (49,745), and wheat (70,125) were insured under PMFBY. By 2024-25, the scope of coverage had expanded, with 69,549 farmers covered for paddy, 78,811 for maize, 37,070 for wheat, and 23,108 for oilseeds.
