Table of Contents
- Livestock Owner in Haryana — You must be a livestock farmer who owns animals in Haryana and is actively dependent on them for livelihood.
- Above 18 Years of Age — The applicant must be at least 18 years old.
- Valid PPP Family ID — You must have a valid Parivar Pehchan Patra Family ID issued by the Government of Haryana. Without a PPP ID your application cannot be processed.
- SC Beneficiaries — Free Insurance — Scheduled Caste farmers pay absolutely nothing. Their animals are insured completely free of cost under the Haryana Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Samuhik Pashudhan Bima Yojana.
- BPL and APL Farmers — BPL and APL farmers pay a small subsidised premium. The remaining premium is shared between the State and Central Government.
- Ear-Tagged Animals — Your animals must have proper ear tags with a 12-digit barcode. Animals without ear tags cannot be insured under this scheme.
The Haryana Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Samuhik Pashudhan Bima Yojana covers two categories of animals:
Large Animals:
- Cows
- Buffaloes
- Bulls
- Camels
Small Animals:
- Sheep
- Goats
- Pigs
Now here is something every farmer needs to know clearly before applying. Each household can insure a maximum of 5 large animals or their equivalent in small animals under this scheme. So if you have a mixed livestock setup — some large animals and some small — the total coverage is calculated against that 5 animal equivalent limit.
This is where the Haryana Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Samuhik Pashudhan Bima Yojana becomes genuinely impressive. The premium is so small that for most farmers the question is not whether they can afford it — it is why they have not done it already.
For SC Beneficiaries: Zero. Completely free. Not a single rupee.
For APL and Other Category Beneficiaries:
Animal Type | Premium Per Year |
Large Animal — Low Milk Yield | Rs. 100 Per Animal |
Large Animal — Medium Milk Yield | Rs. 200 Per Animal |
Large Animal — High Milk Yield | Rs. 300 Per Animal |
Small Animal — Sheep, Goat, Pig | Rs. 25 Per Animal |
The remaining premium above the farmer’s contribution is paid jointly by the State and Central Government as subsidy. For a buffalo worth Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 80,000 paying Rs. 200 or Rs. 300 per year in premium is genuinely one of the most practical financial decisions a farmer can make.
Insurance Duration: The standard coverage period is 1 year with one premium payment. Farmers can also opt for 3-year coverage with the approval of the Haryana Livestock Development Board — meaning one payment covers the animal for three full years.
The moment your insured animal dies report it to the insurance company within 24 hours. Do not wait. Do not think about it for a day or two. Call immediately — because delayed reporting can seriously complicate your claim and delay your compensation.
The compensation you receive is based on the animal’s market value and milk yield at the time it was insured. So if your buffalo was insured for Rs. 60,000 you receive Rs. 60,000. The full amount goes directly into your Aadhaar-linked bank account through direct bank transfer — no middleman and no cash handling.
One important thing to check before applying — if your registered account is a Jan Dhan account make sure it can receive amounts above Rs. 50,000. If it cannot switch to a regular savings account before registering so your compensation reaches you without any issue.
- Aadhaar Card — mandatory
- Parivar Pehchan Patra PPP Family ID

- Clear photographs of the animal from all sides along with the farmer
- Photograph showing the animal’s 12-digit barcode ear tag clearly
- Latest Bank Passbook copy — Aadhaar-linked
- Cancelled Cheque copy
- PAN Card copy

Step 1 — Open saralharyana.gov.in on your phone or computer. Before entering anything take one second to confirm the URL is exactly right. That one check keeps you completely safe from fake websites.
Step 2 — New to the SARAL portal? Click New User under Sign In Here. Fill in your name, email ID, mobile number, password, and state. Click Submit and verify both your mobile number and email address through the OTPs that arrive. Once verified your account is ready. Already have an account? Just log in directly and move forward.
Step 3 — Once you are logged in click Apply for Services and then View All Available Services. In the search bar type Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Samuhik Pashudhan Bima Yojana and click on the scheme when it appears. You are now on the application page.
Step 4 — The application form will open. Take out all your documents and keep them open beside you before filling in a single field. Now go through the form carefully — your personal details, your animal details, and your insurance duration choice between 1 year and 3 years. Match every detail exactly as it appears on your documents. Not roughly. Not from memory. Exactly. The animal details especially — breed, age, milk yield, and market value — must be accurate because your compensation will be calculated based on what you enter here.
Step 5 — Upload all required documents one by one. Before uploading each file open it and confirm it is fully clear and readable. Pay special attention to the photographs of your animal — the 12-digit barcode ear tag must be completely visible and clearly readable in the photo. If the ear tag is not clearly visible in the photograph retake the photo before uploading. This is a mandatory requirement and a blurry ear tag photo can put your application on hold.
Step 6 — Before hitting submit scroll back through the entire form one final time. Read every field. Check every uploaded document and every photograph. Confirm the insurance duration you selected is what you actually want. Once you are completely satisfied that everything is accurate and nothing is missing — go ahead and submit.
Step 7 — The moment your application is successfully submitted save your application number immediately. Screenshot it, write it in a notebook, send it to yourself on WhatsApp — whatever works for you just do it right now before closing the page. That number is how you track your application on the SARAL portal and you will need it every time you want to check your status.

It is a livestock insurance scheme launched on 29 July 2016 by the Animal Husbandry Department Haryana. The scheme protects livestock farmers from the sudden financial loss that comes when an insured animal dies. SC farmers get their animals insured completely free. APL farmers pay a small premium of Rs. 100 to Rs. 300 per large animal per year and just Rs. 25 per small animal per year. When an animal dies compensation based on its market value is transferred directly into the farmer's bank account.
Cows, buffaloes, bulls, camels, sheep, goats, and pigs are all covered under this scheme. Each household can insure up to 5 large animals or their equivalent number of small animals. If you own livestock and depend on them for your daily livelihood the Pashudhan Bima Yojana was built specifically to protect you.
Yes — absolutely nothing. Not a single rupee. Scheduled Caste farmers get their animals insured completely free of cost under this scheme. The government covers the entire premium on their behalf. If you are an SC farmer and your animals are not yet insured under this scheme there is genuinely no reason to wait any longer.
Call New India Assurance Company on 1800-419-1415 immediately and report the death within 24 hours — not tomorrow, not after two days, right away. Then submit your claim form, FIR, insurance policy, and veterinary death certificate. Once verified the full compensation goes straight into your bank account.
One premium payment gives you one full year of coverage. But if you want longer protection you can opt for 3-year coverage with approval from the Haryana Livestock Development Board HLDB — meaning you pay once and your animal stays protected for three complete years without needing to renew annually.
