Trust & quality

Editorial standards

My SIP Planner mixes calculators with long-form articles. This page explains how we choose topics, how we stay accurate, and what we refuse to do so the site stays useful for readers and fair to advertising programmes that require original, substantial content.

What we optimise for

Clarity for someone learning in India — not keyword volume, not affiliate churn, and not anonymous walls of text copied from elsewhere.

Topic selection

Articles start from questions real investors ask — SIP basics, how performance tables work, compounding behaviour, ELSS concepts, and comparisons like SIP versus lumpsum. We prioritise evergreen education over chasing daily NAV noise, because that is where stable explanations age well.

Accuracy and updates

When we cite numbers or processes tied to regulation, we date-stamp context in the narrative (for example, which financial year a worked example uses). Calculator outputs are generated from the same TypeScript functions documented on the methodology page so editorial claims about “how this site works” can be checked.

Voice and drafting

We write in plain English with Indian rupee examples where it helps. Bulleted checklists appear when they genuinely shorten reading time. We avoid promising outcomes (“double your money”) and we name limits up front—especially around tax, risk, and the fact that calculators smooth volatility.

Drafting may use common writing tools for outlining or phrasing, but published guidance is edited for factual alignment with our own tooling and for a consistent, human tone. We do not publish auto-generated articles whose sole purpose is to target search phrases with thin repeats of the same paragraph.

What we do not publish

  • •Paid “top fund” lists disguised as journalism, or scraped rankings presented as our research.
  • •Personalized buy or sell calls for named schemes; we are educators, not your distributor.
  • •Doorway pages that exist only to capture a query and bounce users outward with no unique value on-site.

Fact-checking and review policy

Drafts that reference regulation, tax concepts, or product mechanics are checked against primary sources (for example SEBI circulars, RBI FAQs, official scheme documents) where feasible. Calculator-related claims are verified against the same TypeScript implementations described on the methodology page. We do not publish “timeless” tax promises without dating the context.

Content review: substantive edits go through a second read for internal consistency (numbers in text match calculator behaviour described), link integrity, and tone. Material factual corrections are reflected on-page; where an article’s framing changes significantly, we update the lastUpdated field shown on the post when provided in data.

Corrections

If you believe an article or label is misleading, email mysipplanner@gmail.com with the page URL and the issue. We fix genuine errors in copy or calculators and note material changes when the facts warrant it.
