What this type of cover does
May cover defined yield, weather or localised losses for enrolled crops and seasons, subject to scheme rules.
Who commonly considers it
Farmers growing eligible notified crops.
What to check in the policy
Registered name and IRDAI registration details of the insurer or intermediary
Who is insured, when cover starts and when it ends

Waiting periods, exclusions, claim conditions and cancellation terms
