Coverage Procedure (A) LOANEE FARMERS (COMPULSORY BASIS) : The present Nodal Bank system under NAIS, will continue for MNAIS as well, wherein the insur ance company is not required to deal with all the loan advancing points (b ranches/PACs) a nd instead, deals only with designated ‘nodal points’, at district level who are mostly the controlling offices of the branches/PACs. Loanee farmer shall continue to be cover ed by the present Nodal Bank system. All the Ba nks (including p rivate sector Banks) where Crop loans ar e Sa nct ioned/ Adva nced for the Notified Cr ops in a Notified Insurance Unit (IU) for a Notified Crop Season, are required to be COMPULSORILY insured under MNAIS. For loanee farmers, the modalities will be the same as in the existing NAIS. Whenever a bank sanctions loan for notified crop in notified ar ea, the same is eligible for compulsory coverage as per seasonality discipline. The Loan advancing Bank Bra nch/Primary Agr icultur e Cooperative Society (PACS) shall prepare for each IU, a Premium Register giving details like Name of the Farmer, Crop Loan Account Number, crop-wise Area Ins ured, crop-wis e Compulsory Sum Insur ed & Pr emium, etc. Bank branch will a pportion cover age among insur able cr ops, ba sed on acreage mentioned in loan application or on the basis of actual area sown as declared by the far mer.

The bank branch/ PACS shall fina nce the additional loan towards premium amount paya ble by the far mer, and debit the same in Crop loan account.- 4 - Ex-316/2012 For the crop loans sanctioned thr ough Kis an Credit Cards (KCC) which a re eligible for compulsory coverage, banks shall maintain a ll back up records, r egisters relating to complia nce with MNAIS and its seasonality discipline, cut-off-date for submitting the Declarations as in the case of normal crop loans. Ba nk branch s hall apportion the covera ge among the insurable cr ops based on either the acreage mentioned in loan a pplication based on whcih the ‘Maximum Borrowing Limit (MBL)’ is fixed by the bank or in the proportion the far mer declares separately for the Season. Crop loans advanced against hypothecation of gold/ornaments are also eligible for compulsory, subject to insurability of crop and seasonality discipline. In case of loanee farmer a n amount of va lue equal to the Crop Loan Sanctioned shall have to be compulsory insured under the Scheme. The Nodal Branch, in turn, shall consolidate these statements from the bank branches/PACS under its jurisdiction into Month-wise, IU-wise, Crop-wise Declaration, and forward the same to the insurance company along with a bank cheque/demand draft towards the insura nce premium, in accordance with the cut off dates as specified in the Notification for that particular crop and season for Loanee farmers. For the declarations pertaining to Additional/Extended Sum Ins ured, the cut off dates as specified in the Notifica tion for Non Loanee fa rmers shall apply.

Proof of ownership of land and/or Certificate of Sowing of the Insured Crop(s) and requisite premium at Bank Branch/PACSs c ) Apa rt from Banks, the Non-loanee far mer can also ava il insurance thr ough insura nce intermediaries/Authorized Agents of AIC. 11. Methods of Indemnification The crop loss shall be assessed on the basis of following indemnification methods, as per the provisions of t he Scheme and Operational Modalities :- ( A ) Wide Spread Calamities : The Scheme will operate on basis of ‘Area Approach’ i.e. Defined Areas for each notified crop for wide spread calamities and insura nce unit will be villa ge for the notified cr ops. (i) Based on S eason End Yield :State Govt. Agriculture Dept. will plan and conduct minimum 4 Crop Cutting Experiments (CCEs) in each notified insurance unit (village) for each notified crop, in order to assess crop yield. Claims will be worked out based on actual yield furnished by State at the end of har vest season, State Gover nment will maintain single series of CCEs and resulta nt yield estimates, both for Crop Production estimates and Crop Insura nce, Planning a nd supervision for all CCEs by S tate Govt. will be of same or der as that of Genera l Crop Estimation Surveys (GCES). Claim Formula : If ‘Actual Yield’ (AY) per hectare of insured crop for insurance unit (calculated on basis of requisite number of CCEs( in insured season, falls short of specified. ‘T hresfold Yield’ (T Y), all insured farmers- 5 -Ex-316/2012 growing tha t crop in defined area are deemed to have su ffered shortfa ll in yield of similar magnit ude. MNAIS seeks to provide coverage against such contingency. ‘Cla im’ shall be calculated as per the following formula : (T hreshold Yield - Act ual Yield) X Sum Insured for the Farmer Threshold Yield (ii) On-Account Payment of Cla ims due to Mid-Season Adversity :In case of adverse seasonal conditions during crop season viz. floods, prolonged dry spells, severe drought etc, AIC in consultation with Govt. of Mizoram, based on agro meteorological data (R ainfall), will decide about crops/ar eas for which on account payment will be made, not exceeding 25% oflikely claims. Appraisal of mid-season adversity and quantum of on-account payment will be established jointly by Government of India/Govt. of Mizoram and AIC . On account payment will be implemented only in states wher e such proxy indicator s can be established a nd will be cons idered for payment, only if the expected yield during the season is less than 50% of normal yield. In such a n insta nce, insurance company based on declarations received from banks or insurance proposals, received from other authorized agencies or directly from farmers for such crops and areas a ffected by adverse season; shall work out likely claims which will occur ba sed on end of season yield assessment, and will release claim up to 25% of likely claims, in advance to farmers through nodal banks subject to adjustment against claims asssess ed on yield basis i. e. in case end of season yield based cla ims works out t o be higher, then difference of claim would be payable and in case end of the season claim based on yield happens to be lower, then the insurance compa ny reserves the right to r ecover excess claims so paid to farmers. In case of near total loss situation dur ing the season (i.e at a stage of the crop cycle when complete input cost is not incurred), the losses will be paid ba sed on ‘graded scale’ of payment. Graded Scale of Payment vis-a-vis occurrence of peril :Nursery :50% Veget ative st age :60% Mid season or reproductive sta ge : 75% Late season or ripening sta ge :100% Illustration : District ‘A’ has been affected by floods having 100 insurance units under Crop ‘X’. Out of which 50 insurance units were severely affected and as per the weather indicators/a gro-met data, it has been assessed that 30 insurance units could have yield loss of more than 5 0% (compared to the Normal Yield). Out of these 30 insurance units, estimated yield loss for 5 units is 80% (Category-I), for another 10 units, it is 70% (Category-II) and remaining 15 units, it is 60% (Category-III) of normal yield, due to which likely yield may be in range of 20%, 30% and 40%. The likely claims for the a bove units (compared to Threshold Yield) may be 64%, 56% and 48% respectively. As per declarations received, if sum insured for notified areas in C ategory-I, Category-II and Ca tegory-III is Rs. 1 cr ore, R s . 2 cr or e, a nd R s . 3 cr or e, r es p ect ively, t hen likely f ina l cl a ims wil l b e R s . 6 4 la k h, 11 2 la kh a nd 1 4 4 lakh respectively. Hence on-account cla ims upto 25% will be Rs. 16 lakh, 28 lakh and 36 lakh, which will be released during the sea son. (iii) Prevented Sowing/Planting Claims :Due to non r eceipt of sufficient r ainfall or excess rainfall or other weather a dversit ies, fa rmers in one insurance unit may not be in a position to either sow or transplant crop or grow crop (failed at an early- 6 - Ex-316/2012 stage). When this incidence is widespread i.e. majority of ar ea in one insur ance unit rema ins unsown/ failed sowing, (mor e than 75% of normal area), then insurance company based on weather/rainfall position in insurance unit, as issued by concerned office of IM D during the season, a nd acreage- sown particulars r eceived from S tate Government; will decide extent of claims to be paid. In case of non availability of IMD stations at a location or else non availability of IMD data on certain days, other authentic weather stations/rain gauge stations by State Government/autonomous bodies/ agriculture universities/pr ivate agencies as appr oved by SLCCCI can also be considered for pur pose of measuring weather/ra infa ll. GOI and Sta te Government will a rrange for wea ther/rainfall data from IMD/Other autonomous/governemnt bodies, to insurance company, while data from private data providers will be ar ranged by insurance company. Area sown particulars will a lso be provided by State Government/UT, within one month aft er end of norma l sowing season. Rainfall requirement for sowing a crop differs from crop to crop. S imilarly, the quantum of inputs used before sowing (land preparation, seed fertilizer etc) varies from crop to crop. State Govt./SLCCCI (based on proxy indicators like weather data, area enumeration, satellite imagery, etc. ) will decide that majority of the ar ea in t he IU could not be sown or the sowing failed and AIC in consultation with SLCCCI will assess ext ent of claims payable based on the weather/rainfall position, crop, acreage planted etc. a nd in a ny case maximum claims payable will be restricted to 25% of sum-ins ur ed. Ha ving become eligible for prevented/ fa iled sowing, insur ance cover is a utoma tica lly termina ted, i.e. once t he IU is chosen for this benefti, the insur ance cover cea se to operate for the subsequent period of the season. Process of determining prevented/failed sowing being automated, farmers need not lodge any claim for prevented/fa iled sowing. Payment S labs : Prevented Sowing (No sowing at all) : 50% Failed Sowing (Sowing done, no germination)/Prevented Transplanting : 75% Failed Germination (Germinated crop withered a way)/Failed Tra nsplanting : 100% Illustration : District ‘B’ with 100 insurance units has been affected by dry-spell, consequently about 80% of the area could not be sown in about 50 insur ance units for Summer Paddy crop, where per hectare sum insured is Rs. 20,000. As per slab of payment for prevented sowing, is 50% and benefit payable is; sum insured X 50% X 25%, which on a sum insured of Rs. 20,000 works out to 2,500. In case of failed sowing, the slab is 75%, benefit payable is: sum insure X 75% X 25%, which on sum insured of Rs. 20,000 works out to Rs. 3,750. (iv) Post-Harvest losses :In case of occurrence of specified peril of cyclone in coastal areas (as notified by State Government) resu lting in damage to har vested crop lying in field in ‘cut & spread’ condition, insured fa rmer ha s to lodge a written cla im intimation in standard for mat to the insurance company through Nodal Bank/ Intermediar y or direct within 48 hours of occurrence of event. This coverage is available only up to maximum period of two weeks (14days) fr om harvesting. Harvested crop bundled and heaped at a place before threshing is beyond coverage under p ost har vest losses. Assessment of damage will be on individual plot basis. Insurance company will nominate an authorized loss assess or who will visit the field and assess damage and submit report to insurance company. Services of local officials of Bank and Agriculture/Revenue authorities may be utilized for this purpose by insurance company.- 7 -Ex-316/2012 Based on report submitted by loss assessor, insurance company will arrive at claim payable and loss an a percentage of sum insured. Claim paya ble will be higher of area approach bas ed claim and claim assessed for post harvest lossess. Illustration : As against a sum insured of Rs. 50,000, post harvest losses are assessed at 50%, i.e. Rs. 25,000, and subsequent claims estimated based on ‘area approach’ are Rs. 30,000. In such case the farmer will be paid Rs. 30,000 as claim. In case post harvest loss claim is paid immediately, balance claim estimated based on ‘area a pproa ch’ of Rs. 5,000 (being the difference between the two estima tes) will be paid at time of pay. (B) Farm Level Assessment : LOCALIZED RISKS : Insured farmers who experience crop losses due to occurrence of localized perils/calamities, as notified by SLCCCI in the insura nce unit(s) for the pu rpose, will give immediate notice (in standard format) to insurance company (AIC) through concerned financial institution/channel partner or directly, within 48 hours along wit h particulars of crop insured and extent and cause of damage. On receipt of loss intimation, insurance company shall depute Loss assessors (authorized loss assess ors or technical personnel of the company) t o area for assessment of crop loss. District Revenue administration and Agriculture Department sha ll assist insur ance company in assess ing extent of crop loss. Localized calamities for this purpose arehailstorm and landslide. Cost of inputs incurred until time ofoccurrence of peril, and expected loss in final yield due to peril, will form the basis for loss assessment.Graded Scale of Payment vis-a-vis occurrence of peril :Nursery : 50% Veget ative st age : 60% Mid season or reproductive sta ge : 75% Late season or ripening sta ge :100% In case cla ims s ettled under loca lised cla ims are less than ‘ar ea a pproa ch’ claims, only bala nce claims shall be paid to insured. However, if claims settled under localized calamities are higher than widespread calamity based claims, farmer is not required to refund balance claim. Illustration : As against a sum insured of Rs. 30,000, loss due to operation of hailstorm is assessed at 40%, i.e. Rs. 12,000, and subsequent cla im estimated based on ‘area approach’, is R s. 18,000. In such ca se the farmer will receive a total claim of Rs. 18,000. In case loss, due to operation of localized calamities, Rs. 12,000/- is paid immediately and the b ala nce cla im of Rs. 6, 000 (being the difference bet ween two estima tes) will be paid at the time of payment of ‘area approach’ claims. In any case the total claim shall not exceed sum insured.Cla ims paid for localized risks and on account pa yment shall be adjusted with the claims payable on t he basis of yield data, if any, at the end of the season. 12. IMPORTANT CONDITIONS/CLAUSES APPLICABLE FOR COVERAGE OF RISK : (a)AIC should have received the premium for coverage wither from bank, channel partner, insurance intermediary or directly. Any loss in transit due to negligence by these agencies or non remittance of premium by these agencies, AIC is not liable for payment of cla ims.- 8 - Ex-316/2012 (b)In case of a ny substantial misreporting by nodal bank/br anch in case of compulsory far mers coverage, concerned bank only shall be liable for such misreporting. (c)Banks shall display list of beneficiary farmers with claim amount (who are eligible for cla ims) at village pancha yat office. (d)AIC will ha ve discretion to accept or r eject any risk of an insurance unit(s) for any crop(s) considering prevailing agr icultur al situation. Mere sa nctioning/disbursement of crop loans and submission of proposals/ declarations and remit tance of premium by fa rmer/ba nk, without explicit intent to raise the crop, does not cons titute accepta nce of risk by insurance company. (e)In event of near total crop failu re during early or mid season affecting entire insurance unit, AIC shall adopt a graded scale indemnity settlement r estricting indemnity to proportion of input cost up to that stage. (f)AIC, if deemed necessary, will investigate coverage on its own or by an agency appointed for the purpose and may utilize technologies, including satellite imagery for identification of anomalies in crop insurance coverage vis-a -vis actual field conditions. Upon identification of adverse phenomenon based on such investiga tion, insurance company has the right to sca le down sum insured. In such ca ses no refund of premium paid by far mers shall be made by AIC. 13. Ba nk Service C harges The Nodal Ba nks sha ll be pa id Service charge @ 2. 50% of premium paid by the far mer. 14.The Scheme shall be implemented by t he AIC, which shall be responsible for payment of a ll eligib le claims. 15.MNAIS is ex empted from S ervice Tax. 16.Nodal Ba nk/Bank Br anch has to submit the consolida ted Demand Dr aft (D D) in favour of “AGRICULTURE INSURANCE COMPANY OF INDIA LTD. - AXIS BANK A/c No. 1400 102 0000 1960” payable atGUWAHATI. 17. Roles of various agencies The roles of various agencies i.e. State Government, Banks, Insurance Company and Farmers have been mentioned in the Operational Modalities issued by GoI. 18.Other details, if r equired can be ascerta ined from branches of Commercial, Co-operative and Rural Ba nks functioning in the ar eas notified under Modified National Agricu ltural Ins urance Scheme (M NAIS ) a nd from the Regional Office of Agriculture Insurance Compa ny of India Ltd. (AIC ), Guwaha ti. T.V. Fambawl, Secr etary to the Govt. of Mizoram, Agriculture Department. - 9 -Ex-316/2012 Annexure - I Modified National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (MNAIS) : A brief note and calculation of Indemnity Levels, Threshold Yields and Actuarial premium Rates 1.) Indemnity LevelMNAIS envisa ge three levels of indemnity, viz, 70%, 80% a nd 90% corresponding to high r isk, medium risk and low risk, a nd shall be decided by the insurance company (AIC). Keeping in mind the improve features of MNAIS a nd based on suggest ions from actuaria l exp erts, Indemnit y Levels would be assigned on the basis of Loss C ost (overall claims a s percentage of overall sum insured). In other words, Indemnity Levels would be determined by the ‘as if ’ claim cost of the crop in the district based on past 10 years yield data. 2. ) Threshold YieldMNAIS provides that the Threshold Yield (TY) or Guaranteed Yield for a crop in an Insurance Unit shall be the average yield of the preceding seven years excluding maximum of t wo year (s) in which a na tural calamity may have been declared by the concerned Government/Author ity, multiplied by Indemnity L evel. However, it ma y b e ens u r ed t ha t a t lea s t 5 yea r s ’ yield da t a is a va ila b le for ca lcu la t ing the Threshold Yield. MNAIS also stipulates that the Insurance Unit (IU) for major crops would be village/Gra m Panchayat (G P). However, in a great majority instances the village/GP level past yield data is not available. It is, therefore, required that t he Threshold Yield at village/GP level has to be arrived at based on ‘higher unit’, or ba sed on combined avera ge of ‘higher unit’ and villa ge/GP level data wherever GP level data is available for a few years. 3.) Actuarial Premium RatesThe actuarial premium rates under MNAIS will be based on ‘Experience Rating’ which in-tur n is based on ‘as if ’ claim experience of pa st 10 years. T he pure premium rate, thus worked out based on ‘as if ’ cla im experience is adjusted for various additional benefits provided under the scheme, and fina lly loaded for expenses like business expenses, cos t of financing, reinsu rance etc. in a rriving the actuarial or commercial premium rate.
