Livestock Insurance Enrolment to Claim processes

• Livestock Insurance Sales usually takes place
  over 2 visits to the customer at the village.
• The 1st visit involves communicating the product
  to the customer
• The 2nd visit involves enrolling the customer,
  collection of premium and tagging of the animal

19
Livestock Insurance

• LSA travels to the village by motorcycle.
• Each LSA covers an area with a radius of 20km,
  in which he provides various livelihood services
  to in about 15 villages

20
1st Visit

• The Field Executive and LSA meet with the
  customer to communicate the features of the
  product

21
1st Visit

• If the customer agrees to take up the insurance
  product, the LSA will visit the village again to
  tag the animal and collect premium payment.
• 2-3 days is given between the visits to allow
  the customer to arrange the money for the premium.

22
2nd Visit

• LSA fills out the required documents
• Customer gives consent to the enrolment form

23
2nd Visit

• Customer pays the premium amount
• And collects the receipt for the premium payment

24
2nd Visit

• The animal is then secured for tagging
• And then tagged

25
Tagging

• Most locations do not have the facility of
  trevis to tie the animal in the process of
  tagging
• Covering the animals eyes during tagging with a
  towel/cloth reduces the difficulty in tagging
  animals that are aggressive or unruly

26
Data Processing

• LSA submits premium and enrollment forms at unit
  office
• Enrollment forms are then sent to BASIX HO and
  from there to a Rural BPO for data entry
• Insurer receives data of all new assets insured
  in electronic format along with consolidated
  premium cheque for all new customers to complete
  the underwriting process

27
Livestock Retagging

• If the tag falls off from the livestock, the
  customer is required to immediately contact the
  unit office.
• The LSA will travel to the village within the
  next few days to retag the animal. During this
  time, the insurance coverage will be suspended.
• Cover commences after the 10th day of retagging
