Editorial Policy

How we research, write, review, and update our tools and articles

Last updated: November 4, 2025

Our Standards

  • Accuracy first: We implement bank-standard and tax-agency formulas and verify outputs with sample cases.
  • Clear sourcing: Primary sources include CBIC, Income Tax Department, RBI, and SEBI notifications.
  • Plain language: We avoid jargon and explain formulas step by step.

Creation & Review

  1. Research: Compile current laws/rates from primary sources.
  2. Drafting: Write original guidance tied to our calculators.
  3. Technical validation: Cross-check calculations with worked examples.
  4. Expert review: Content is reviewed by finance/tax professionals.
  5. Accessibility check: Mobile readability and contrast verified.

Updates

Rates, rules, and examples are reviewed at least quarterly, and immediately after major regulatory changes. Each page shows a “Last updated” date.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email support@smartcalcs.in. We log issues, fix validated errors within 72 hours, and note material corrections.

Independence & Conflicts

  • No sponsored calculator outputs or paid placement in results.
  • Ads never change tool logic or written conclusions.
  • We disclose any financial relationships if they exist (currently none).
