Fact-Check & Corrections Policy

Last Updated: August 8, 2025

Our Core Mission

At jkgst.in, our fundamental mission is to create a ‘Jagruk Karadata’—an Aware, Informed, and Confident Taxpayer. The foundation of this mission is an unwavering commitment to accuracy, impartiality, and transparency. The world of GST is complex and carries significant financial and legal implications. We understand that our readers rely on us for precise and trustworthy information, and we take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness.

This Fact-Checking and Corrections Policy outlines our process for ensuring the integrity of our content.

Our Fact-Checking Process

Every piece of informational content, whether a news update, a guide, or an analysis, undergoes a rigorous fact-checking process before publication. Our commitment to accuracy includes:

1. Sourcing from Primary, Official Channels: We prioritize official sources above all else. Our information is sourced directly from:

  • The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) website (cbic.gov.in).
  • The official GST Council website (gstcouncil.gov.in).
  • Official Press Releases from the Press Information Bureau (PIB).
  • Official Gazettes, Circulars, Notifications, and Orders issued by the government.
  • The original text of GST Acts and Rules.

2. Scrutinizing and Verifying Claims: We do not rely on second-hand information or unverified social media claims for factual reporting. All data, statistics, deadlines, and procedural explanations are cross-verified against the primary sources listed above.

3. Expert Review: Every article is written and reviewed by individuals with deep domain knowledge in Indian indirect taxation. We ensure that the content is not only factually correct but also contextually relevant and clearly explained.

4. Distinguishing Fact from Analysis: We clearly differentiate between factual reporting (e.g., “the GST Council has announced…”) and professional analysis or opinion (e.g., “this change could potentially impact…”). Our analysis is based on facts, but its interpretive nature is made clear to the reader.

Our Corrections Policy

Despite our rigorous process, we are human, and errors can occur. When they do, we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently, and clearly.

We encourage our readers to be a part of our accountability process. If you believe you have found an error in our content, please contact us.

1. Reporting an Error: To report a potential error, please email us at corrections@jkgst.in with the following information:

  • The URL (link) of the article in question.
  • The specific text or claim you believe is incorrect.
  • A clear explanation of the error.
  • A link to your source of information (if available).

2. Investigation and Action: Upon receiving a potential correction, our team will investigate the claim immediately by reviewing the original sources. If an error is confirmed, we will take appropriate action.

3. Types of Corrections:

We have a clear system for addressing errors to maintain the integrity of our archives:

  • Correction: If there is a significant factual inaccuracy, we will update the article with the correct information. An “Editor’s Note” will be added to the top or bottom of the article clearly stating what was corrected, the nature of the original error, and the date the correction was made.
  • Update: Sometimes, new information emerges that adds to or changes the context of a previously published article (e.g., a deadline is extended after an article was published). In such cases, the article will be updated to reflect the new situation, and an “Update” note will be added.
  • Clarification: If the original information was factually correct but the language was ambiguous or could lead to misinterpretation, we will update the text for clarity and add a “Clarification” note.

Minor typographical or grammatical errors will be corrected without a formal note.

Our commitment to our readers is our highest priority. This policy is our pledge to you that we will always strive for accuracy and will be accountable and transparent when we fall short.
