Policy Issuance

In order for the farmer to carry out the insurance operations, they must have updated the FRS (Farmer Registration System) records regarding the land and crop of that year. The farmer, who has updated his/her FRS records, applies to the insurance company or agency that is a member of the Agricultural Insurance Pool (TARSİM) to insure his/her crop. The insurance company or agency enters the system of Agricultural Insurance Pool (TARSİM) and makes inquiries regarding farmer’s information. For the issued policy, Clarification Text, Policy Information Form and Policy printouts within the scope of the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) are sent by TARSİM to our insureds as SMS or e-mail, depending on their preference. In case the insured prefers to take the printed policy; the agency takes the Clarification Text, Policy Information Form and Policy printouts within the scope of the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) from the system in two copies and gives one copy to the insured in return for his/her signature. Then the agency issues the policy as two copies and hand out the one to the policy holder / insured.
