Finance and compliance content can influence a payroll run, tax payment, filing or business decision. ReconScribe therefore treats transparency, primary sources and human accountability as core publishing requirements.
This policy explains who creates our content, how calculators and guides are checked, how we use AI, and how readers can request a correction. It applies to content published on ReconScribe.com. Product features on app.reconscribe.com may have separate operational terms.
Our editorial purpose
We publish practical material for taxpayers, accountants, finance teams and small businesses in India. Each page should do at least one useful job: answer a real question, explain a rule in plain language, provide a transparent calculation, offer a working template, or guide a reader through an official process.
We do not set article length targets for their own sake. A page is expanded when examples, exceptions, sources or instructions would materially help the reader. It is kept concise when the task is simple.
Who creates and reviews the work
ReconScribe is created by a small independent group of friends with finance and software experience. Contributor details are published on our authors page.
- Rajeev Bhandari, MBA, has more than 7 years of experience in accounting, finance and automation. He leads calculator automation, finance workflows and most day-to-day publishing.
- ACMA Bhawana Bhandari Gupta, MBA, has more than 14 years of experience and reviews selected accounting, costing and compliance material.
- Ankit, a senior software engineer, contributes to software architecture, automation and technical quality.
- Chartered Accountant friends may review relevant tax and compliance material. We name or mark a reviewer only when the review actually occurred.
Our source hierarchy
We prefer the most direct and authoritative source available. The usual order is:
- Legislation, rules and official notifications, including Acts, Rules, circulars, gazette notifications and state notifications.
- Official government portals and department guidance, such as the Income Tax Department, GST portal, Ministry of Labour and Employment, EPFO, ESIC, RBI and MCA.
- Official state portals for rules that vary by state, including professional tax and Labour Welfare Fund requirements.
- Official product documentation for software setup, features, limits and pricing.
- Reliable secondary material for context, reporting or examples when a primary source does not answer the full question.
A blog post, search snippet, forum comment or AI response is not treated as authority for a tax rate, legal threshold or compliance obligation. Where sources conflict, the page should explain the uncertainty instead of presenting an unsupported conclusion.
How calculator pages are prepared
Before publication, a calculator should have a documented rule set, defined inputs and an explanation of its output. The preparation process normally includes:
- Identifying the applicable period, jurisdiction and taxpayer or employee category.
- Translating the rule into formulas and decision steps.
- Testing standard examples, boundary values, zero values and invalid inputs.
- Checking the calculator on desktop and mobile.
- Explaining exclusions, assumptions and situations that require professional judgment.
- Linking to the official source or portal readers can use for confirmation.
Testing reduces errors but cannot represent every fact pattern. A calculator is an educational planning tool unless the page expressly states otherwise.
How guides and templates are prepared
Guides are written around the reader’s task. We check that the title matches the answer, the opening explains why the page is useful, instructions follow a workable order, and important qualifications are not hidden at the bottom. Templates are inspected for formula integrity, clear input fields and usable outputs before being offered for download.
Articles should use original examples and analysis where helpful. External facts are attributed near the relevant claim. A list of links without explanation is not considered a complete guide.
Publication dates and updates
Pages show a publication date. A last updated date is shown when the material has been meaningfully revised or when a rate-sensitive page is reviewed for a new period. We do not change dates merely to make old content look new.
Rate-sensitive pages are prioritized for review when a new financial year, assessment year, notification or official portal change affects the answer. Older pages may remain useful, but readers should always check the period shown on the page.
Our use of artificial intelligence
AI may assist with outlining, editing, code inspection, test cases or research organization. It does not replace source verification or human accountability. AI output is never cited as proof of a law, rate, product feature or factual claim. No finance or compliance article is published solely from generated output.
The named author remains responsible for deciding what is included. When AI helps create code for a calculator, the calculation is still tested against the underlying rule and representative examples.
Advertising, affiliates and editorial independence
ReconScribe may earn revenue from advertising, referrals, affiliate links or paid products. These relationships help support the site but do not allow an advertiser or partner to purchase a conclusion, ranking or favourable review. Referral and affiliate relationships are disclosed on the relevant page, and paid links are marked with appropriate link attributes.
Advertising is kept separate from the underlying calculation and article text. Official sources are not replaced by commercial links.
Corrections policy
Readers can report a suspected error by emailing contact@reconscribe.com. Please include the page URL, the statement or calculation in question, and an official source where possible.
We assess whether the issue changes the answer or could mislead a reader. Verified material errors are corrected as soon as practical. Substantive revisions update the page’s modified date. Minor spelling or formatting fixes may not.
Limitations
ReconScribe provides general educational information and tools. We do not know a reader’s full facts, contracts, filing history or jurisdictional interpretation. Content is not legal, tax, accounting, investment or other professional advice. For a decision specific to you or your business, consult an appropriately qualified professional and verify the current official rule.
