Editorial Standards & Fact-Check Policy

Last updated: June 2026

CryptoInvestIndia covers cryptocurrency investment for Indian investors — a YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) topic where factual accuracy directly affects financial decisions. This page explains how we research, verify, and maintain our content.

1. Author Selection & Qualifications

Content on CryptoInvestIndia is written by writers with demonstrated knowledge of the Indian cryptocurrency market, including familiarity with exchange operations, India-specific regulations (VDA tax under §115BBH, TDS under §194S, PMLA obligations), and risk disclosure requirements under SEBI and ASCI guidelines.

Authors are required to:

  • Cite primary sources for all regulatory and financial claims
  • Disclose any affiliate or commercial relationships relevant to the content
  • Avoid making speculative price predictions or guaranteed-return claims
  • Flag any uncertainty explicitly rather than presenting estimates as facts

2. Fact-Check Process

All factual claims — especially those involving exchange fees, regulatory rules, tax obligations, and investment risks — are verified against primary sources before publication. Our primary sources include:

  • Regulatory: RBI circulars and press releases, SEBI notifications, Ministry of Finance official communications
  • Tax: Income Tax Act provisions (§115BBH, §194S), CBDT guidelines, official tax authority FAQs
  • Exchange data: Official exchange fee schedules and terms published by Bybit, Binance, CoinDCX, WazirX, and others
  • Market data: CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap for price/volume data; we do not use social media posts as factual sources

Claims that cannot be verified against a primary source are either excluded or clearly marked as unverified estimates.

3. Review Process

Before publication, each article is reviewed for:

  • Factual accuracy against the sources listed above
  • Regulatory compliance — claims must not conflict with current RBI/SEBI guidance
  • Risk disclosure completeness — investment risk, tax obligations, and affiliate relationships must be disclosed
  • India-market specificity — generic global advice is contextualised for Indian investors (INR amounts, Indian exchanges, local tax rules)

4. Content Update Policy

The cryptocurrency regulatory environment in India changes frequently. We commit to reviewing all published guides at least every 6 months, and immediately when a material regulatory change occurs (such as a new RBI circular, SEBI notification, or Finance Ministry amendment affecting VDA taxation).

Each page displays its last-updated date. Pages covering tax rules, exchange comparisons, or investment strategies are prioritised for more frequent review.

5. Corrections Policy

If you identify a factual error on any page, please contact us. We will investigate within 5 business days and issue a correction with a note if the error was material. We do not silently edit factual errors — corrections are documented in the page content.

To report an error: use the contact information on our About page.

Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure

CryptoInvestIndia earns referral commissions when readers sign up via our exchange links, at no extra cost to the reader. Editorial coverage — which exchanges are recommended, how they are ranked, what risks are highlighted — is not influenced by commercial relationships. We cover exchanges regardless of whether they have an affiliate arrangement with us.

All affiliate relationships are disclosed at the point of recommendation, not only in this policy.
