PMFBY — crop-insurance information and farmer services
PMFBY provides crop-insurance coverage for notified crops and areas under participating state arrangements. Official information confirms that participation is voluntary and coverage depends on specified insured risks. The farmer portal offers application and status functions. Check the current crop, district, season and enrolment notice; a national portal does not mean every crop is presently enrolable.
