Editorial Policy

This policy exists to ensure accuracy, neutrality, and transparency in all data and content published on SIFscan. Every data point, score, and piece of content must meet these standards before publication.

• All data points are traced to official sources: AMFI data modules, AMC factsheets, or SEBI-regulated disclosures
• No derived or estimated values are presented without explicit labeling
• Data provenance is maintained for audit and verification
• Cross-referencing between sources is used to identify and flag discrepancies

• Neutral, institutional tone across all content
• No superlatives: words like "best," "top," "ideal," or "recommended" are not used in fund descriptions or analysis
• No suitability language: we do not state or imply that a fund is appropriate for any investor profile
• No implied recommendations: data presentation is structured to inform, not to direct action

If errors are identified in published data or content, they are corrected promptly. Corrections include a note indicating when the correction was made and what was changed. We do not silently alter published data.

• No paid placements or sponsored content
• No sponsored rankings or AMC-influenced scoring
• No AMC-influenced content of any kind
• Revenue model does not depend on fund recommendations or transaction facilitation

We defer to SEBI and AMFI on all regulatory interpretations. SIFscan reports on the regulatory framework. We do not opine on regulatory matters. Where regulatory context is necessary, we cite the specific SEBI circular or AMFI guideline.

All tax and legal content on SIFscan is clearly marked as educational and general in nature. It does not constitute tax advice or legal advice. Users are always directed to consult qualified chartered accountants, tax advisors, or legal professionals for matters specific to their situation.

All content is reviewed for factual accuracy and regulatory compliance before publication. Data outputs are validated against source documents. Scores are verified against the published methodology before each refresh cycle.
