PMFBY claim for localised hail damage, how to report within 72 hours?

For localised risks like hailstorm, landslide, inundation and cloudburst, PMFBY allows individual farm-level claims, but you must report the damage quickly, generally within 72 hours of the event. The fastest way is through the Crop Insurance app or the PMFBY portal, where you enter your policy and crop details and the location of damage; you can also inform your bank, the insurance company toll-free number, or the agriculture department. Note the date and time of the event and take photos of the damaged field. After intimation, a surveyor from the insurance company visits to assess the loss and the claim is calculated on that basis. Keep your application number and intimation acknowledgement safe for follow-up.
