Rajasthan: Thousands of crop insurance claims denied as premium 'Refunded' -Shruti Jain

The Agriculture Insurance Company of India returned farmers' premiums after one year, claiming that details had not been provided in "soft copy". The bank, however, has not credited the refund into farmers' accounts.

Satlana (Jodhpur, Rajasthan):
Thousands of farmers in the Satlana gram panchayat of Rajasthan’s Jodhpur, insured under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), have been denied insurance claims for two crop seasons – kharif 2016 and kharif 2017.

The claims have apparently been denied because the Agriculture Insurance Company of India Limited (AIC) refunded their premiums to the Jodhpur Central Co-operative Committee Bank a year after they were paid, as the insurance details weren’t provided in a “soft copy”. The bank, however, has not credited the refund in farmers’ accounts.

The matter was taken to the Rajasthan high court after farmers, with the support of their sarpanch, filed a public interest litigation to seek their insurance claims. “When the insurance claims didn’t reach us when other villages in our gram panchayat had received them, we approached the concerned co-operative society, which is a unit of the Jodhpur Central Co-operative Committee Bank, but nothing substantial happened,” Bhala Ram Patel, the sarpanch of Satlana, told The Wire.
