Editorial Policy
Our Standards for Accurate, Unbiased & Trustworthy Content
1. Mission Statement
At Current Affair, our mission is to provide accurate, accessible, and actionable financial information to readers worldwide. We are committed to journalistic integrity, transparency, and serving the public interest.
Our content aims to demystify complex financial topics, explain government schemes clearly, and empower readers to make informed decisions about their money.
2. Core Editorial Principles
All content published on Current Affair adheres to these fundamental principles:
We verify all facts, figures, and claims through credible sources before publication. Calculator formulas are tested for mathematical correctness.
Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, or external influences. We maintain strict separation between editorial and advertising teams.
We present multiple perspectives on complex issues and avoid bias. Our government scheme coverage is non-partisan and factual.
We clearly disclose AI assistance, sponsored content, affiliate relationships, and potential conflicts of interest.
3. Sourcing Standards
We are committed to using credible, authoritative sources for all our content:
• Primary Sources: Official government portals (India.gov.in, RBI, SEBI, IRS, HMRC), stock exchanges (NSE, BSE, NYSE, NASDAQ)
• Financial Data: Verified financial institutions, audited company reports, SEC filings
• Expert Input: Certified financial planners, chartered accountants, tax professionals
• Academic: Peer-reviewed research, established economic theories
4. Fact-Checking Process
Every article undergoes a rigorous review process before publication:
Writer gathers information from multiple credible sources and official documents.
All statistics, dates, rates, and eligibility criteria are cross-checked with official sources.
Editor reviews for accuracy, clarity, fairness, and adherence to our style guide.
Content is verified against the latest available information before going live.
5. Corrections Policy
We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently:
Correction Process:
• Factual errors are corrected within 24 hours of verification
• A correction note is added at the bottom of the article indicating what was changed and when
• Significant corrections are noted at the top of the article for 7 days
• Social media posts containing errors are updated or deleted with acknowledgment
Update vs. Correction: Routine updates to interest rates, scheme deadlines, or market data are not considered errors but are timestamped to indicate freshness.
6. Sponsored Content & Advertising
We maintain strict guidelines regarding sponsored content and advertising:
• Clear Labeling: All sponsored content is clearly marked with "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" labels
• Editorial Independence: Advertisers do not influence editorial content
• Review Standards: Sponsored content must meet the same accuracy standards as editorial content
• Affiliate Disclosure: Articles containing affiliate links disclose this relationship
7. Author Expertise & Bylines

• Government Schemes: Researched using official notifications and circulars
• Technical Analysis: Reviewed by professionals with market experience
• AI Assistance: When AI tools assist in content creation, this is disclosed (see our AI Usage Policy)
All articles include author attribution. Guest contributors are clearly identified with their credentials.
8. Non-Partisanship
Current Affair maintains strict political neutrality:
• Coverage of government schemes is factual and not influenced by political affiliation
• Analysis of policies focuses on financial implications, not political ideology
• Criticism of financial schemes is based on economic merit, not partisan views
• We cover schemes from all governments (Central, State, International) equally
