Editorial policy

Every CashIQ calculator and article follows the same standards: correct maths, rules taken from official sources, and a visible date showing when it was last checked.

Calculations

• All calculators share one calculation library, so a result is the same everywhere it appears.
• Each formula is covered by automated tests, including checks against widely published reference figures.
• Each tool page shows its formula, assumptions and a worked example.

Sources

• Tax rules come from the Income Tax Department and the Finance Act. Rates come from the issuing authority: RBI, India Post and the Ministry of Finance for small savings schemes, EPFO, PFRDA, AMFI and SEBI.
• Pages state the tax year or rate period they apply to and link to their sources.

Updates

• Tax tools are reviewed after every Union Budget and Finance Act.
• Rate-based tools are reviewed when rates are announced, such as each quarter for small savings schemes.
• Every page shows a last-updated date.

Independence

Our calculators do not favour any fund, bank or product, and results are never changed for commercial reasons.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, tell us and we will check it, correct it if needed and update the page date.
