Agriculture Department Enables 15-Day Direct Online Crop‑Insurance Payments to Karnataka Farmers
The department’s Samrakshane portal now deposits crop‑insurance payouts directly into eligible farmers’ bank accounts within 15 days.
The Karnataka Agriculture Department has activated a fast‑track process that deposits crop‑insurance money directly into the bank accounts of eligible farmers who have suffered crop loss. The new system promises to complete the entire payment cycle within 15 days.
The online mechanism operates through the Samrakshane portal, a modern digital platform that automates claim verification and fund transfer. By linking the portal to farmers’ bank details, the department eliminates intermediate steps that previously caused delays.
Officials said the swift payout aims to provide timely financial relief, bolster farmer confidence in the insurance scheme, and encourage broader participation in future crop‑insurance programmes.
The department will monitor the portal’s performance and explore further enhancements to ensure that the benefits reach all qualifying farmers promptly.
