Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) — crop insurance

Crop insurance for notified crops against losses from natural calamities, pests and disease.

This is a guide, not a decision. Eligibility is decided by the department that runs each scheme.

Run by: Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare

Official rule (in English, as published)

All farmers including sharecroppers and tenant farmers growing the notified crops in the notified areas are eligible for coverage. Voluntary for farmers without a crop loan; tenants give the documents their state notifies.

Ask the office or portal which documents it needs; we list documents only where the official site does.
