At Martin-MS.com, accuracy is at the heart of everything we publish. We understand that our readers rely on us for reliable news and trustworthy information about Home Budgeting, Tax, and Insurance from India and around the world.
We are committed to ensuring that every fact, figure, and statement we publish is verified, balanced, and supported by credible sources. This Fact Check and Correction Policy outlines our approach to fact verification, error handling, and transparency — reaffirming our dedication to honest and ethical journalism.
1. Fact-Checking Process
Our editorial team follows a multi-layered fact-checking procedure before any article is published:
- Source Verification:
We collect information only from authentic, verifiable, and authoritative sources such as government notifications, official press releases, financial institutions, and trusted news wires. - Cross-Verification:
Each data point or claim is verified by at least two independent editors or reporters. - Expert Review (When Required):
For topics like tax laws, insurance regulations, or financial policies, we consult subject-matter experts or certified professionals to ensure accuracy. - Continuous Monitoring:
Financial information evolves rapidly. Therefore, we regularly revisit older articles to update facts in response to new developments or corrections.
For more information about how we maintain editorial independence and fairness, please visit our Editorial Policy.
2. Handling Errors and Corrections
Even with rigorous checks, mistakes can occur. When they do, we take immediate action to correct them transparently.
- Minor Corrections:
Typos, grammatical errors, or stylistic improvements are fixed silently without altering the substance of the story. - Significant Corrections:
If an article contains an error that affects understanding or accuracy, a Correction Notice is added at the bottom of the article, explaining what was changed and why. - Updated Articles:
When new facts emerge that alter a story, the article is updated and labeled “Updated on [Date]” for clarity.
Readers can report factual errors via our Contact Us page. Each report is reviewed by our editorial team, and verified corrections are implemented promptly.

We always attribute information to its rightful source. When we use external data, we:
- Include source citations or backlinks where appropriate.
- Clearly distinguish between verified facts, expert opinions, and editorial analysis.
- Avoid publishing rumors, unverified claims, or speculative information.
