Utility Tools

Tools that do not fit the image, PDF or document categories but come up constantly at a service counter — checking a crop insurance premium, making a QR code that actually scans, and printing from a phone to a shop printer.

Autoprint

PMFBY Premium Calculator

QR Code Generator

What these tools are for

The PMFBY calculator reproduces the notified crop insurance rate tables for Maharashtra district by district and crop by crop, so a farmer or the operator enrolling them can check a quoted premium before paying. The QR code generator produces print-ready codes for a direct WhatsApp chat, a fixed-amount UPI payment, a website, a message or a contact card — the cases where a code genuinely replaces typing rather than repeating a number printed next to it. AutoPrint sends a file from a phone to a printer without cables or a laptop in between.

Practical notes

For crop insurance, confirm the season first — Kharif and Rabi are entirely separate notified tables, and mixing them up is the usual reason a quoted figure does not match expectations. Take your area from the 7/12 extract rather than from memory, since premium and sum insured both scale directly with it. For QR codes, always generate larger than you need and scale down for print, keep the white margin around the code intact, and test a printed sample at real size before printing in bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PMFBY calculator an official government service?

No. It is an independent reference tool built from the notified rate tables so you can check a figure before paying. Always confirm against the original government resolution or with your bank or insurer before enrolling.

Why will my printed QR code not scan?

Usually one of four things: printed too small, no white margin around the code, low contrast against the background, or a long link making the code too dense. Test a printed sample at the size you will actually use.

Do these tools need an account?

The PMFBY calculator and QR code generator are free and need no login. AutoPrint requires an account because it pairs your phone with a specific printer.
