How much financial assistance can I get under the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Samoohik Pashudhan Beema Yojana for insuring my dairy animals?
For large animals (cows/buffaloes), you need to pay only Rs. 100-300 per year based on milk yield. For small animals like goats/sheep, the premium is Rs. 25 per animal per year. SC beneficiaries get 100% free insurance coverage.
I have 8 milch animals in my household. Can I get insurance coverage for all of them under this scheme?
The scheme allows insurance coverage for up to 5 cattle units per household/family. You can insure additional animals beyond 5 by paying the full premium without subsidy benefits.
What is the process for filing a claim if my insured animal dies? What documents do I need to submit?
File FIR within 24 hours of death and inform on toll-free number 1800-419-1415. Submit claim form, insurance policy, post-mortem report, and intact ear tag along with updated bank account details. The surveyor must visit within 4 hours of claim intimation.
I'm from a Scheduled Caste family. Do I need to pay any premium amount to get my livestock insured under this scheme?
No, SC beneficiaries get 100% free insurance coverage with no premium payment required. The premium cost is shared between Central Government (40%) and State Government SCSP (60%).
What is the maximum insurance value I can get for my Sahiwal cow that gives 16 liters of milk per day?
For Sahiwal cows giving above 15 liters milk per day, the maximum sum assured is Rs. 90,000. The final valuation is done by a committee consisting of the owner, insurer, and veterinary surgeon.
If I sell my insured animal to someone else, what happens to the insurance coverage?
The insurance can be transferred to the new owner by submitting a request to New India Assurance Company with a transfer fee of Rs. 50, along with certification from the area veterinarian.
How long do I have to wait after getting insurance before I can file a claim if my animal dies?
There is a 21-day waiting period for non-accidental deaths. However, claims for accidental deaths are covered from day one of the policy, provided police intimation is done.
What happens if the insurance company delays settling my claim beyond 15 days after document submission?
The company becomes liable to pay a penalty of 12% compound interest per annum to the beneficiary for delays beyond 15 days after complete document submission.
I don't have a Parivar Pehchan Patra yet. Can I still apply for livestock insurance under this scheme?
No, having a Parivar Pehchan Patra is mandatory for all beneficiaries. It's one of the essential documents required along with health certificate and category certificates (for SC/BPL).
If my animal dies during post-mortem examination, will I still get the insurance claim?
The document doesn't specifically address this scenario. However, since post-mortem is a mandatory part of the claim process conducted by authorized veterinarians, such cases should be eligible for claims.
What is the role of the veterinary surgeon in the insurance process, and do I need to pay them separately?
Veterinarians issue health certificates (Rs. 50 honorarium) and conduct post-mortems (Rs. 125 honorarium). These charges are covered under the scheme's central funding and beneficiaries don't pay extra.
If my Jan Dhan account is to receive a claim amount above Rs. 50,000, what should I do?
You need to convert your Jan Dhan account to a general savings account before submitting the claim documents to ensure smooth processing of the claim amount.
Submit your application yourself on the official portal; it costs nothing. Treat anyone demanding money to "get you approved" as a scam.
