10 WBCIS: Performance over the years Benefits Short Comings Faster Claim Settlement Higher No. of Benefitted Farmers Control on Adverse Selection Good Risk Classification Low Loss Assessment Cost Better Seasonal Disciple Complexly designed by some of the States due to poor product knowledge High Start-up Cost due to installations of weather stations at closer radius

11 MNAIS: Performance over the years MNAIS Claims Analysis Gross Premium (Mn USD) Claim (Mn USD) Claim Ratio (%) 62.2% 88.8% 100.0% 90.0% 80.0% 70.0% 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% * Data Source - DAC, MoA, GoI Scheme is in nascent stage and picking up year on year

13 Stake Holder view on Implementation Central Government Standardization of Products Standardization of Scheme Guidelines Long term District Allocations Transparency of Data Timely Subsidy releases State Government Varied Products every season Claims to be paid every season Low Technical Know How Provisioning of Budget Insurers In consistent approach for implementation of the scheme guidelines Seasonal allocation leading to short term implementation Lack of adequate quality weather/yield data for pricing the products Delay in premium subsidy putting strains to financial aspects of the organization

14 Overall Challenges Scattered land holding Area under cultivation is 143 mn hectares >70% of the farmers are having land area less than 1 hectare Scattered crop pattern - Multiple cropping, intercropping Multi Linguistic Poor administrative infrastructure Lack of awareness among farmers

15 Future outlook Proposed new schemes merging yield based and weather based claim estimation Use of technology based platform for claim settlement Central government exercising more diligence in due course to ensure uniformity in all states Increase of coverage under non loanee farmers
