Crop Insurance

PRODUCT DETAILS

WEBDOC in collaboration with the underwriters brings CROP INSURANCE coverage against Natural Disaster / God Act for the People of Pakistan.

The process needs to be very simple and straightforward for customers to understand. A policy will cover them for a month based on daily premiums against any crop on any size of land. The policy will cover for the financial Limit against crop insurance for Natural disaster / God’s act.

The Claim Process will also be very simple. As claims will be paid pro-rata according to the following table, it is entirely the insurance underwriters’ decision if or not they intend a survey before paying a claim. On higher claims amounts the survey will be conducted, however on lower amounts they may pass-it without survey. Most of the time a call to the farmer will do the trick. Insurance companies based on the information either on call or through surveys will provide a small report / (some time a survey report) to finalize the claim. Pictures of the crops destroyed with evidence from farmers of natural disaster may be required to strengthen the case, but not necessarily as Natural disaster will be in the area instead of the only insured crops. For Lower end claims pictures of the Natural / God’ act on the crops are mandatory. Generally speaking, any claims up to 20,000 may be classified as lower end claims.
