Centrally Sponsored Scheme Livestock Insurance Scheme

Guidelines for Implementation of Livestock Insurance Scheme.
Livestock is an important sector of national economy especially for the
rural areas.
For promotion of livestock sector, it is important that along with
providing more effective measures for disease control and improvement of
genetic quality of animals, a mechanism of assured protection to the farmers &
Cattle rearers is required against eventual losses of such animals.

Implementing agency:
In States where there are no State Implementing Agencies (SIA), the
Livestock Insurance Scheme will be implemented through the State Animal
Husbandry Departments.

Premium Payment:
50% of the Insurance Premium is to be paid by the owner of the animal
& 50% will be paid by the Government.

Selection of Insurance Companies:
While selecting Insurance Company, besides premium rates offered their
capacity to provide services, terms & conditions & service efficiency should
also be taken into account. Under no circumstances, the rate of premium
should exceed 4.5% for annual polices & 12% for 3 years policies. Efforts will
be made to insure the animals for at least 3 years rather than one year.
However, if a farmer desires to have a policy for a period less than 3 years i.e.
one year policy, that could also be provided and subsidy on premium will be
provided for insuring same animals again in the future years of
implementation of the scheme.

Involvement of Veterinary Practioners:
The Veterinary Practitioners at the village level are to be associated with
the work of identification & examination of the animals to be covered under
the scheme, determination of their market price, tagging/microchipping of the
insured animals and finally issuing Post -Mortem report as and when a claim
is made. A district wise list of Veterinary Practioners who will issue Health
Certificates and Post Mortem Certificates/reports will be issued by this
Directorate to the Insurance Company selected.

Animals to be covered under the Scheme:
All the female cattle and buffaloes yielding 1500 liters of milk per
lactation will be under the purview of the scheme. Milch cattle/buffalo will
include both in milk and dry as well as pregnant animals, which have already
calved once. Animals covered under any other Insurance scheme/plan scheme
will not be covered under this Scheme.
Benefit of the subsidy is to be restricted to two animals per beneficiary
per house hold.


Determination of Market price of the animals.

The market price of the animal will be assessed jointly by the beneficiary
and authorized Veterinary practioner and the insurance agent.

Commencement of Insurance Policy Cover and adjustment of
Premium subsidy.
In order to generate confidence among the cattle owners about the
efficacy of the scheme, it is important that the policy cover should take effect
once the basic formalities like identification of animal, its examination by the
Veterinary Practioner assessment of its value and its eartagging/microchipping
along with payment of 50% of the premium to the Insurance Company or its
agent by the cattle owner are completed. The selected Insurance Company will
have to agree to this. However, it is possible that the Insurance Company may
point out a provision in the Insurance Act that Insurance cover can take effect
only after the whole premium is paid in advance. In order to take care of this
problem, there could be an arrangement by which certain amount is paid in
advance to the Insurance Company by the Directorate of AHVS. This amount
should not exceed 50% of the premium of the number of animals expected to
be insured in a period of 3 months.

Identification of the Insured animals.
The animal insured will have to be properly and uniquely identified at
the time of insurance claim. The traditional method of Ear Tagging or the
recent technology of fixing microchips could be used at the time of taking the
policy. The cost of fixing the identification mark will be borne by the Insurance
Companies and responsibility of its maintenance will lie on the concerned
beneficiaries. The Veterinary Practioner may guide the beneficiaries about the
need and importance of the eartag/microchip fixed for settlement of their claim
so that they can take proper care for maintenance of the tag/microchip.

Change of owner during the validity period of Insurance
In case of sale of the animal or otherwise transfer of animal from one
owner to other, before expiry of the insurance policy, the authority of
beneficiary for the remaining period of policy will have to be transferred to the
new owner.

Settlement of claims
The method of settlement of claim should be very simple and expeditious
to avoid unnecessary hardship to the insured. The beneficiary should get full
payment of the sum insured in case of death of animals within 15 days
positively after submission of requisite documents which are listed below:
(i)
FIR with the Insurance Company (about the death of animal).
(ii)
Insurance Policy.
(iii) Claim Form.
(iv)
Post Mortem Report/Certificate.

Payment of honorarium to the Veterinary Practioners

It has been decided to pay an honorarium to the Veterinary practioner @

of Rs.50/- per animal at the stage of insuring the animal and Rs.100/.per animal at the stage of issuing post mortem certificate (including
conducting post mortem) in case of insurance claim.
