Crop insurance eligibility in India depends on the crop, season, and valid land or tenancy records. Both loanee and non-loanee farmers can apply if they meet notified criteria for the season.
Farmers who own land, cultivate leased land, or sharecroppers can apply for crop insurance under PMFBY and other schemes. Eligibility depends on crop type, location, and timely premium payment. This guide explains who qualifies, required documents, and how to apply for crop insurance in India.
