Methodology

Data Sources

We use official government publications, central bank releases, and regulator notifications as primary data sources. Where appropriate, we also reference published rates and product terms from major banks and financial institutions for illustrative examples.

Tax Rules & References

Tax calculations are implemented from the Income Tax Act provisions, Finance Act updates, CBDT circulars, and notified tax slabs. For GST, we follow CBIC notifications and rates. Each calculator's methodology section cites the specific rule or circular used.

Government References

Where possible, we link directly to government websites (eg: income tax department, RBI, SEBI, CBIC). We prioritize primary sources over secondary commentary to reduce error and improve transparency.
