Editorial Policy

2. Editorial Independence & Integrity

Our editorial decisions are made independently by our editorial team and are kept separate from commercial partnerships, referral programs, or advertising relationships. Our authors and contributors follow the following editorial rules:

• Conflict Disclosure: Authors and contributors should disclose relevant financial interests that may create a material conflict with the content they cover.
• No Sponsored Editorial Bias: Sponsored content or referral partnerships never dictate editorial tone, valuation assessments, or risk disclosures.
• No Paid Stock Ratings: We do not accept payment or consideration from issuing companies, merchant bankers, or promoters to publish positive reviews.

3. Primary Sourcing Hierarchy

Material IPO and financial data published on Digital Arthalaya is checked against the most relevant available primary or official source. Depending on the topic, these may include:

• SEBI-filed Offer Documents: Draft Red Herring Prospectuses (DRHP), Red Herring Prospectuses (RHP), and Price Band Advertisements filed with SEBI.
• Exchange Data & Filings: Official announcement feeds, circulars, and public issue bidding data of NSE and BSE.
• Official Registrar & Company Filings: Verified corporate filings, company announcements, and registrar allotment information.
• Strictly Prohibited Sources: Unverified social media posts, anonymous WhatsApp forwards, Telegram tip groups, and unsupported rumours.

4. Fact Verification & AI Governance Policy

In modern publishing, computational tools and AI assists can accelerate data collation and drafting:

• Human Editorial Oversight: AI-assisted drafts are reviewed and verified against relevant primary sources before publication. AI tools may assist with research organization, drafting, summarization, or data structuring, but factual responsibility remains with Digital Arthalaya.
• Primary Source Cross-Verification: Key financial metrics (Revenue, PAT, EBITDA, P/E Ratio, RoNW) must match official audited financial exhibits in SEBI-filed offer documents.
• Original Analysis: We deliver original analytical context, comparison with listed industry peers, and objective risk evaluation rather than synthetic rewriting.

5. Commercial Transparency & Affiliate Disclosure

Digital Arthalaya may use referral or affiliate links to third-party financial service providers. We may receive a referral benefit when eligible users complete certain actions through these links. Such commercial relationships do not determine our editorial coverage or the conclusions presented in our content.

• Clear Disclosure: Referral or affiliate links should be clearly identifiable where applicable.
• Editorial Separation: Commercial relationships must not determine news selection, factual reporting, risk disclosures, or editorial conclusions.
• Provider Terms Apply: Users should independently review the service provider's current fees, brokerage, eligibility requirements, terms, risks, and disclosures before using any financial service.

6. Author Byline & Editorial Accountability

Transparency requires knowing who produced the information you rely on. Every published article, guide, and news update should feature a clear, clickable author or editorial byline linking to our Authors & Editorial Team Directory.

Each author profile outlines the contributor's professional background, areas of coverage, editorial role, and recently authored publications.

7. Corrections, Updates & Feedback Channels

Accuracy is an ongoing commitment. When material factual errors or updated regulatory data emerge, we correct the record transparently and promptly. Details of our correction procedures and reader reporting channels are documented in our Corrections Policy.
