 +====== RTI for delayed PMFBY crop insurance claim (2026) ======
 +
 +{{ :social:auto:rti-for-fasal-bima-claim.png?direct&1200 }}
 +
 +<WRAP info>
 +**Quick answer:** PMFBY claims must be paid within 60 days of yield assessment under PMFBY Operational Guidelines. If delayed, file RTI to the empanelled insurance company + District Level Monitoring Committee (DLMC) + State Agriculture Department.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Statutory framework =====
 +
 +Under PMFBY Operational Guidelines (Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, revised 2020), claim settlement timeline is:
 +
 +  * **Yield assessment** — 30 days post-harvest via crop-cutting experiments
 +  * **Claim calculation** — 15 days post-yield assessment
 +  * **Settlement** — 30 days post-claim calculation
 +  * **Total** — 60-90 days post-harvest
 +
 +If delayed, insurer pays 12% interest per annum on the delayed amount.
 +
 +===== Where to file =====
 +
 +  * **Empanelled insurance company** (e.g., AIC, IFFCO-Tokio, HDFC ERGO, Universal Sompo, etc.) — RTI under §6(1)
 +  * **District Level Monitoring Committee (DLMC)** — chaired by District Collector
 +  * **State Agriculture Department / Block Agriculture Officer**
 +

 +[Aadhaar / Bank Account Number for cross-verification]
 +[Date]
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Common reasons claims get stuck =====
 +
 +  * Yield assessment delayed by ATMA / KVK
 +  * Crop-cutting experiment dispute
 +  * Aadhaar-bank linkage failure
 +  * State subsidy share not released
 +  * Insurance company solvency / processing capacity
 +  * Notification missing for that crop / area
 +
 +===== Escalation =====
 +
 +  * **30 days no reply** — first appeal under §19(1)
 +  * **DLMC** — file written grievance with District Collector
 +  * **State Agriculture Dept** — Sansad / Vidhan Sabha members can refer matter
 +  * **CPGRAMS** — pgportal.gov.in, ministry "Agriculture & Farmers Welfare"
