Editorial Policy & Publishing Standards

Our institutional framework governing primary regulatory sourcing, non-advisory neutrality, human fact verification, and SEBI compliance across all dispatches, IPO telemetry, and investor guides.

1. Editorial Mission & Non-Advisory Mandate

At Digital Arthalaya, our mission is to empower Indian retail investors through transparent, objective, and source-verified financial reporting. Capital market decisions directly impact family livelihoods, and therefore every piece of content we produce must adhere to the highest standards of journalistic integrity and regulatory compliance.

Statutory Non-Advisory Commitment: Digital Arthalaya operates strictly as an independent investor-education and financial news publication. We do not provide individualized buy/sell advice, guaranteed-return schemes, portfolio management services, or solicit client investment funds.

2. Editorial Independence & Integrity

Editorial integrity is paramount. All coverage decisions, valuations, and risk appraisals are formulated independently by our research desk, completely insulated from commercial partnerships or external influence.

  • Zero Paid Stock Ratings: We never accept monetary compensation, equity allocations, or gifts from issuing companies, promoters, or merchant bankers in exchange for favorable IPO coverage.
  • Conflict Disclosure: Journalists and contributing analysts must disclose any personal holding in securities or IPOs they analyze.
  • Firewall Separation: Commercial referral arrangements never dictate editorial tone, bidding recommendations, or risk factor disclosures.

3. Primary Regulatory Sourcing Hierarchy

Financial data is only as credible as its primary source. We follow a strict institutional hierarchy prioritizing verified statutory filings over secondary commentaries:

  • Level 1 (Statutory Documents): Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), Price Band Advertisements, and Basis of Allotment filings registered with SEBI.
  • Level 2 (Exchange Feeds): Live subscription telemetry, circulars, and listing notices from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
  • Level 3 (Official Registrars): Allotment databases directly managed by Link Intime, KFin Technologies, Bigshare Services, and Purva Sharegistry.
  • Strictly Prohibited Sources: Unverified WhatsApp forwards, anonymous Telegram stock tips, social media hype threads, and speculative rumors.

4. Human Oversight & Responsible AI Governance

While modern editorial tools and computation models assist in structuring public data and analyzing multi-hundred-page prospectuses, all final outputs are governed by human editorial responsibility:

  • Mandatory Human Review: Every article, guide, and telemetry table is reviewed by human editors before publication.
  • Metric Verification: Critical financial numbers (Revenue, PAT, EBITDA, P/E multiples, and issue sizes) must cross-match audited restated statements in RHP documents.
  • Original Synthesis: We write contextualized peer comparisons, risk factor analyses, and regulatory context rather than synthetic copy.

5. Commercial Transparency & Referral Partner Disclosures

Digital Arthalaya partners as an authorized Referral Agent with SEBI-registered stockbrokers (including Upstox / RKSV Securities India Pvt. Ltd.). When readers open an account through our verified link, we may receive a referral credit.

This commercial arrangement operates on regulated partner infrastructure and does not influence our unbiased evaluation of brokers, IPO market intelligence, or objective investor guides.

6. Author Bylines & Editorial Accountability

Credibility requires transparency of authorship. Every published report and educational masterclass features a transparent author or editorial desk byline linking to our Authors & Editorial Board Directory.

Author profiles display background qualifications, areas of coverage, and full archives of published market intelligence dispatches.

7. Corrections, Updates & Public Rectification

Accuracy is an ongoing commitment. When material factual discrepancies or regulatory amendments occur, we correct the article promptly and note the change transparently in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
