The finance ministry is reviewing the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana's cup-and-cap model. This comes as crop insurance business declines, with premium collections expected to fall significantly. Large states are shifting to the cup-and-cap model, which limits insurer risk and profitability. The review aims to ensure the scheme's long-term sustainability and effective farmer coverage.
