CORRECTIONS POLICY
ProjectSarthi Corrections Policy
ProjectSarthi is committed to accuracy. Government scheme information changes frequently, including eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, deadlines, and application processes. When errors are identified, whether by our team or by our users, we correct them promptly and transparently.
Our Commitment
We maintain many schemes, scholarships and fellowships data. With this volume, occasional errors are possible despite our 5-step editorial process (detailed on our Editorial Policy page). We take every reported error seriously and prioritize corrections based on impact to users.
What We Correct
Factual errors: incorrect eligibility criteria, wrong benefit amounts, incorrect income limits, wrong age limits, or misattributed schemes to wrong ministries or departments.
Outdated information: expired deadlines still showing as active, old application portal URLs, superseded policy details, or discontinued schemes still listed as open.
Broken links: official source links that no longer work, application portal URLs that have changed, or PDF links that return errors.
Missing information: important eligibility conditions not mentioned, key documents not listed, or application steps that are incomplete.
Attribution errors: schemes attributed to wrong states, wrong categories, or wrong beneficiary types.
Meaningful typos: spelling or factual errors that could mislead a user (we do not prioritize cosmetic typos that don’t affect meaning).
How to Report an Error
Email [email protected] with the following:
The page URL where the error appears. A clear description of what appears incorrect. The correct information with a supporting source link (official government portal, notification PDF, or gazette reference) if available. Your name (optional) so we can credit you if you’d like.
You can also report errors through our Community forum by posting on the relevant scheme’s Q&A section, or through our WhatsApp and Telegram channels.
Correction Timeline
Critical errors (wrong benefit amounts, incorrect eligibility that could cause someone to miss a scheme): reviewed and corrected within 24 hours.
Standard errors (outdated deadlines, broken links, missing information): reviewed within 48 to 72 business hours.
Complex issues (policy interpretation disputes, conflicting information across government sources): may take up to 7 business days as our research team verifies against original government notifications.
How Corrections Are Made
Our editorial team verifies the reported error against the original official source (myScheme.gov.in, ministry website, official notification, or gazette). If confirmed, the page is updated immediately. The “Last Updated” date on the page is changed to reflect the correction. For significant corrections that change eligibility or benefit amounts, we may add a note in the page content indicating what was changed and when.
Transparency
We do not silently alter published content. When important factual changes occur, pages show updated “Last Updated” timestamps. Our editorial team maintains internal records of all corrections made, including what was changed, when, and why.
