Finance Ministry Reviews Crop Insurance Scheme Amid Business Decline

India's Finance Ministry is reviewing the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), the nation's crop insurance program. This review is prompted by a significant decline in crop insurance business, with premium collections projected to drop. The shift by large states to a 'cup-and-cap' model, which limits insurer risk and profitability, is a key factor. The ministry aims to ensure the scheme's long-term sustainability and effective farmer coverage.
