Editorial standards

  • Named reviewer for every section page

    Each /income-tax/sections/* page is reviewed by a CA from the team before publication. The reviewer's identity is recorded in the page's Article schema (`author`) and visible in the page metadata.

  • Source-anchored claims

    Every factual claim links to its source - the official gazette, the CBDT notification, the relevant CBDT circular, or the case citation. We do not paraphrase without attribution.

  • Facts → Issue → Held → Ratio for case law

    Every judgment summary follows the same structure. No "spin" - the holding is stated faithfully, even where it has been later reversed or amended (we note the subsequent treatment).

  • Plain-language explanation

    Statutory text is preserved separately; the commentary is in plain English aimed at a CA in practice or an informed taxpayer. We avoid jargon where a plain word will do.

  • Disclaimer on every page

    ThynkTax content is not a substitute for professional advice on specific facts and circumstances. The statutory text and judicial pronouncements control; the commentary is a structured pointer.

  • Public corrections log

    When we get something wrong, we correct it transparently. The correction history is on each page (when applicable) and on /editorial/corrections.
