Fact-Check Policy

At bksjgi.org, accuracy and trust are the foundation of our content. As a finance-focused information website, we understand the importance of providing reliable and factual content to our readers. This Fact-Check Policy outlines the principles and processes we follow to ensure that every piece of information published on our website is thoroughly verified and based on credible sources.

Our goal is to maintain transparency and integrity in all our publications while minimizing misinformation, especially in financial topics that impact user decisions.

Why Fact-Checking Matters

In the finance domain, misinformation can:

Lead to poor financial decisions

Affect investment outcomes

Cause unnecessary panic or false hope among the public

Damage credibility and trust

Our commitment to fact-checking ensures that readers receive accurate, actionable, and up-to-date information backed by authentic sources.

Our Fact-Checking Principles

We are guided by the following principles:

Accuracy First: Every claim is verified with reliable sources before publication.

Transparency: We disclose our sources and update articles when new information becomes available.

Neutrality: We do not promote biased opinions or manipulate facts for personal or commercial benefit.

Clarity: We ensure that complex financial terms and data are explained clearly and truthfully.

Sources of Information

We rely on trustworthy, official, and publicly accessible sources such as:

Government websites (e.g., RBI, Ministry of Finance, IRS, DWP, SASSA)

International organizations (e.g., IMF, World Bank, UN)

Financial regulatory bodies (e.g., SEBI, FCA, SEC)

Established news media with a proven track record

Peer-reviewed research papers, whitepapers, and academic journals

Press releases, official reports, and direct company disclosures

If an article refers to unofficial sources, we mention it explicitly and mark it as unverified, speculative, or based on opinion.

Fact-Check Process

Each article undergoes a structured fact-checking process:

Step 1: Research

Writers gather data from multiple credible sources.

Claims are supported by statistics, policy documents, or expert quotes.

Step 2: Verification

Editors verify the validity of the data through cross-checking.

URLs and references are reviewed to ensure source legitimacy.

Step 3: Final Review

Articles are proofread and reviewed by senior editorial staff.

Any unverified or weak claims are either revised or removed.

Step 4: Publication with Source Mentions

Wherever possible, we hyperlink or mention the sources within the article.

Screenshots or references may be added for context and transparency.

Tagging & Labeling of Content

To help readers understand the factual status of content, we use labels such as:

Fact-Checked: Fully verified with credible sources

Under Review: Currently being updated or verified

Opinion: Based on personal or editorial interpretation, not facts

Speculative: Based on early reports or assumptions

Handling Misinformation or Mistakes

Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur. If a mistake or outdated claim is identified:

The article will be updated with the correct information as soon as possible

A note will be added at the bottom of the article stating the correction date and nature of the correction

If the error is serious, we may remove the article and issue a public clarification
