Fact-Checking Policy
By the NewEdgePolicy Editorial Team · Last updated 13 July 2026
Before a page publishes, its material claims are checked against the primary source and recorded in our evidence layer. Anything we cannot verify does not go in as fact.
What we check
- Every rule, figure, waiting period, sub-limit, tax threshold, and regulatory requirement is checked against the governing IRDAI/government source or the policy wording.
- Dates matter: rules change, so we record when a source was published and when we last reviewed the page against it.
- Claims that cannot be tied to a verifiable source are removed or clearly marked as general guidance rather than fact.
When we get it wrong
Despite this process, errors can happen — rules change, or we may misread a clause. When that occurs we correct the page and record the correction with its date. See our Corrections Policy.
Keeping this honest. If any statement here is inaccurate, out of date, or unclear, please tell us. We log corrections with the date they were made. This page is reviewed on our standard editorial cycle.
