According to a release issued by the Union Minister, during 2018-19, under Prime Minister’s Fasal Bima Yojna, a total of 3,191 cases of crop insurance claim of farmers were rejected as the details of crop insured did not match with the details of crop survey.

Subsequently, the committee had reconsidered the rejected claims and gave approval to 1,939 claims among them and sent them to the government and the insurance company.
