A Pikpera declaration (पिकपेरा बाबत स्वयंघोषणापत्र) is the self-declaration a farmer submits alongside a Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana enrolment, stating which crop has actually been sown on which survey or gat number, and over what area. It is what connects the insurance enrolment to real land and a real sown crop.

The declaration matters because crop insurance is enrolled per crop per notified area. If the declared crop does not match what is actually sown, or the area does not match the land record, the enrolment can be questioned at assessment — which is the worst possible time to discover a mismatch, because it is after a loss has already happened.

This tool produces the declaration in the standard Marathi format, with the farmer's details, the village and revenue details, and a row for each gat number with its crop and area. Most farmers have several gat numbers in one village, so the form is built around adding rows rather than filling one plot at a time. Output is a print-ready PDF.

Fill it the way the land actually is, not the way the form looks.

Step 1: Farmer and address details
Name and the village, taluka and district details. If you are a CSC operator, these location fields repeat for every farmer from the same area, so they are worth getting right once.

Step 2: Mouje (the village named in the declaration)
This is the village named in the declaration sentence itself. For most farmers it is the same village the land is in.

Step 3: Add a row for each gat number
Each row carries the village, gat or survey number, khata number, area and the crop sown, with the date. Add one row per gat number. Most farmers have several in the same village, so usually only the gat number and area change between rows.

Step 4: Bank details, if required
Fill these only if your enrolment route asks for them.

Step 5: Check the crop names and areas
Crop names should match what is notified for your district — use the same name your enrolment uses. Areas should come from the 7/12 extract, not from memory.

Step 6: Download and print
Print on A4, sign, and submit with your enrolment papers.

Take every area figure from the 7/12 extract. The declared area is compared against the land record, and an approximate figure is a mismatch waiting to be found at assessment.

Use the crop name exactly as notified for your district and as used in your enrolment. Local names and notified names often differ, and a declaration that does not match the enrolment defeats the point of filing it.

Declare what is actually sown. This is a self-declaration, verified afterwards rather than accepted outright. Declaring a crop that is not in the field is the single most damaging thing you can do to your own claim.

Add every gat number the enrolment covers. A plot left off the declaration is a plot with no declared crop against it.

Check the sowing dates. They should be consistent with the season and with what is realistic for the crop.

Confirm current requirements before submitting — enrolment paperwork for PMFBY changes between seasons and between enrolment routes.
