PM Fasal Bima Yojana: Last Chance! Update Aadhaar By Tonight Or Miss Out On….; Know Deadline, Process & Eligibility
photoDetails english 2939589 Updated:Jul 31, 2025, 05:36 PM IST Last Day Alert! Aadhaar Update Deadline Ends Today 1 / 7 Today, July 31, is the final chance for farmers to update their Aadhaar under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) for the 2025 Kharif season. The government has made it clear that Aadhaar verification is a must to get any compensation for crop loss. Even if the premium has already been paid, farmers won't be eligible unless eKYC is completed before midnight. Premium Deducted? You're Still Not Safe Without eKYC 2 / 7 Many farmers have noticed that the insurance premium has already been deducted from their bank accounts. But paying the premium is not enough. Without Aadhaar eKYC on the PMFBY portal, your insurance will be considered invalid. Banks and insurance companies have clarified that claims will be rejected unless Aadhaar is verified—no exceptions. Aadhaar eKYC Must Be Done Today 3 / 7 If you haven't updated your Aadhaar yet, act now. Visit your nearest bank, insurance company office, or Common Service Centre (CSC) immediately to complete the eKYC process. Without this verification, claims for any crop loss due to floods, droughts, hailstorms, or pests will be dismissed—even if all premiums were paid on time. issed Crop Change Deadline? It Closed On July 29 4 / 7 Farmers had until July 29 to change their insured crop under PMFBY for the Kharif season. If you missed this window, no changes can be made now. The provision was especially helpful for those who altered their sowing due to unpredictable monsoon or price shifts. Going forward, crop claims will be accepted only for the crop registered before July 29. What PMFBY Offers to Farmers 5 / 7 The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, launched in 2016, aims to support farmers financially when natural calamities strike. With low premium rates—2 per cent for Kharif, 1.5 per cent for Rabi, and 5 per cent for commercial crops—the scheme offers wide coverage. It ensures that a bad crop season doesn't become a financial disaster for farmers. Full Premium Waiver in Hill and North-East States 6 / 7 For farmers in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and northeastern states, the scheme is even more beneficial. The government pays 100 per cent of the premium here, meaning farmers pay nothing from their pocket. This step ensures that those in remote or high-risk areas also get crop insurance without any financial burden. How to Apply & Complete Verification Today 7 / 7 If you've not yet registered or completed eKYC, visit right away. Click on 'Farmer Corner' and then 'Guest Farmer' to register using your crop, personal, and bank details. Alternatively, visit a nearby CSC or agri-office for offline application. Remember, today is the last day to do this—don't miss the deadline. (Images credit: Gemini AI)

Andhra Pradesh government conducts rigorous scrutiny to ensure Annadata Sukhibhava benefits reach eligible farmers
1 2 Vijayawada: In a decisive move to ensure that every eligible farmer receives financial support under the Annadata Sukhibhava scheme, the Andhra Pradesh govt has launched a rigorous pre-verification process. This marks the first time such detailed scrutiny is being conducted ahead of the scheme's rollout. The department of agriculture, in partnership with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and the Real-Time Governance Society (RTGS), reviewed the data of 47.41 lakh farmers who successfully completed their eKYC. While the majority are active in the NPCI system, nearly 1.21 lakh farmers still face issues that could block their access to the benefits. Specifically, 76,705 farmers were found to have dormant or inactive bank accounts, and another 44,977 farmers were not found in the NPCI database due to lack of Aadhaar-bank linkage or NPCI mapping. "These technical issues have in the past deprived many deserving farmers of their benefits," said agriculture department director S Dilli Rao. "This time, we are committed to ensuring that no eligible beneficiary is left out. We are verifying every account in advance so that the financial assistance reaches the right hands without delay. District officers and field-level staff have been instructed to identify and guide these farmers to complete eKYC, Aadhaar linking, and ensure their bank accounts are active," he added. List of affected farmers have been made available at Rythu Seva Kendras (RSKs) and through Mandal Agriculture Officer (MAO) login portals. Based on updated and verified information, the final list of beneficiaries will be prepared by RTGS and APCFSS. By addressing these issues before disbursing funds, the govt aims to avoid pitfalls of previous years and set a new benchmark in transparency and effectiveness in farmer welfare schemes.
