PMFBY Pays ₹317 Cr: Is Your Claim Filed?

Madhya Pradesh farmers got ₹317 crore in PMFBY crop insurance payouts for Rabi 2025-26. If you or your family farm, here's how to make sure your claim doesn't get left behind.

Here's what happened: The central government transferred ₹317.86 crore in PMFBY crop insurance claims to 16.70 lakh farmers in Madhya Pradesh for the Rabi 2025-26 season.. Payouts were credited directly to farmers' Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, covering losses from crop failure during the winter growing season.. PMFBY is a government-backed scheme where farmers pay a capped premium — 1.5% for Rabi crops — and the rest is subsidised by central and state governments..

What you should do: Check your PMFBY enrollment status at pmfby.gov.in using your Aadhaar or policy number before the Kharif 2025 enrollment deadline in your state.. Visit your bank branch or nearest CSC centre to enroll as a non-loanee farmer if you don't have a Kisan Credit Card — enrollment is open to all cultivating farmers.. Verify your Aadhaar is linked to your active bank account so any approved claim is credited without delay — mismatched records are the top reason payouts get stuck..

If you took a Kisan Credit Card loan this season, you were likely auto-enrolled in PMFBY — call your bank to get your policy number and sum insured before assuming you have no coverage.
