Editorial Policy

Our editorial mission

Rupee Rubric exists to give working Indians clear, specific, actionable personal finance guidance. We write for salaried professionals earning ₹5L–₹50L per year who want real answers — not generic advice padded with disclaimers.

How we research articles

Every article is based on:

• SEBI regulations and AMFI guidelines (current as of publish date)
• Income Tax Act provisions relevant to the topic
• RBI circulars for banking and lending topics
• Official fund house data for performance comparisons
• Publicly available interest rates from major Indian banks

We do not publish stock tips, "hot picks," or performance rankings without citing the underlying data source and date.

Accuracy standards

Numbers in articles must be sourced or calculated. When we state a rate of return, a tax slab, or a product fee, we link to or cite the source. When we use illustrative numbers (e.g., "if you invest ₹10,000/month at 12%"), we say so explicitly.

Tax rules and financial product terms change frequently. Articles include a "Last updated" date. If you find outdated information, let us know.

Independence

Editorial content is independent of advertising and commercial relationships. Advertisers have no input into article topics, rankings, or conclusions. Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored" and reviewed to ensure it meets our accuracy standards before publication.

Affiliate links

We use affiliate links where available (Zerodha, Groww, Kuvera, etc.). Affiliate relationships do not affect which products we recommend or how we rank them. We link to products we would recommend regardless of whether an affiliate arrangement exists.

Corrections policy

When we make a factual error, we correct it quickly and note the correction at the bottom of the article with the date. We do not silently edit errors — the correction is always disclosed. To report an error, contact us.

Use of AI tools

Some articles on this site are drafted with AI writing assistance. All AI-drafted content is reviewed for factual accuracy, edited for tone, and verified against source material before publication. We do not publish AI output without human review.
