Fact Checking Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
At CGScheme.com, we aim to publish clear, useful, and responsibly researched information about government schemes, Yojana updates, Chhattisgarh government programs, and related public services.
Because government information can change over time, we follow a research and review process designed to reduce factual errors and help readers understand where important information comes from.
This Fact Checking Policy explains how we verify information, review articles, handle corrections, and update content when new information becomes available.
Our Approach to Fact Checking
We do not treat information found on the internet as automatically correct.
When preparing an article, we identify the important factual claims and research them using appropriate sources. For government scheme-related topics, we give particular importance to official government sources, notifications, announcements, and relevant government portals.
Our fact-checking process may include:
- Identifying important claims in the article.
- Finding an appropriate source for those claims.
- Comparing information where more than one reliable source is available.
- Checking whether the information is current.
- Reviewing the final article before publication.
- Updating the article when relevant information changes.
The level of checking may vary depending on the nature and importance of the information.
Priority to Official Sources
For government schemes and public-service information, we generally prioritize sources such as:
- Official government websites
- Government department portals
- Official scheme guidelines
- Government notifications
- Official announcements
- Government documents and notices
Other reliable sources may be consulted when they provide useful context or help us understand a topic.
However, third-party information is not automatically treated as confirmation of an official government decision.
What We Check
Depending on the article, we may verify details such as:
Scheme Details
We check the basic information available about a scheme, including its name, purpose, responsible authority, and relevant government department.
Eligibility
Where official eligibility information is available, we compare the article’s eligibility explanation with the relevant government source.
Benefits
Claims about financial assistance, services, facilities, or other benefits are checked against appropriate available information.
Documents
When an official source provides document requirements, we use that information when explaining what applicants may need.
Application Process
We check available official instructions before explaining online or offline application procedures.
Dates and Deadlines
Time-sensitive information receives particular attention because application dates, deadlines, and other dates can change.
Status and Payment Information
Where an official system provides a status or payment-checking facility, we aim to explain the available process based on the relevant information.
Human Editorial Review
Fact checking is part of our wider editorial process.
Noureen Khan, Founder, Operator, and Writer, works on researching and preparing content for CGScheme.com.
Harshit Mishra, Editor and SEO Strategist, supports the editorial process by reviewing content, improving structure and readability, and helping maintain the quality of published information.
Human editorial judgment is used when reviewing factual information and deciding whether information is sufficiently supported for publication.
Use of AI and Automated Tools
CGScheme.com may use AI-assisted or other technological tools to support parts of the content workflow.
These tools may assist with organization, drafting, language improvement, or identifying areas that require additional research.
However, AI output is not considered a fact-checking source or authoritative evidence.
Important factual claims are researched against appropriate sources, particularly official government sources where available. Human review remains part of our editorial process.
For more information, please see our AI Usage Policy.
Handling Conflicting Information
Sometimes different sources may provide different information.
When this happens, we try to determine which source is more authoritative and current. For government scheme information, official government information generally receives priority.
If reliable information cannot be reconciled, we avoid presenting uncertain information as a confirmed fact.
Where appropriate, an article may explain that information is subject to change or that readers should confirm the latest position with the relevant authority.
Time-Sensitive Information
Government scheme information is not always permanent.
Eligibility criteria, benefits, application procedures, documents, dates, websites, and other requirements may change after an article is published.
For this reason, fact checking is not limited to the original publication date. Relevant articles may be reviewed and updated when new official information becomes available.
Readers should always verify important current requirements with the relevant government authority before submitting an application or making a decision.
Corrections Policy
If we discover that published information is incorrect, incomplete, or outdated, we may review and correct the relevant article.
Corrections may include:
- Correcting factual errors
- Updating outdated information
- Clarifying confusing statements
- Removing unsupported claims
- Updating changed government procedures
- Revising dates or other time-sensitive information
The extent of a correction depends on the nature of the issue.
How Readers Can Report an Error
Readers are welcome to report possible factual errors or outdated information.
Please email:
cgscheme@gmail.com
When reporting an issue, please provide:
- The article title or URL
- The specific statement you believe is incorrect
- An explanation of the issue
- A relevant official source or supporting reference, if available
Providing the exact article URL helps our team locate and review the information more quickly.
Correction Review
A reported error does not automatically mean that an article will be changed.
Our team reviews the information and supporting evidence before deciding whether a correction or update is appropriate.
Where a legitimate factual issue is identified, we may update the article accordingly.
What We Do Not Claim
Our fact-checking process is intended to reduce errors, but it does not mean that every article will remain accurate indefinitely.
We do not claim that our content is “100% accurate,” “error-free,” or officially approved by any government authority.
Government policies and information can change, and readers should consider the publication date and any available updates when using our content.
Independent Information Website
CGScheme.com is an independent information website.
Our articles may explain government schemes and services, but we are not a government department or official government portal unless a specific page clearly states otherwise.
For official applications, eligibility decisions, payments, deadlines, and legal or administrative requirements, readers should consult the relevant government authority.
Our Commitment
Our fact-checking approach is based on a few straightforward principles:
- Research important claims using appropriate sources.
- Give priority to official government information for government-related topics.
- Review content before publication.
- Use human editorial judgment.
- Update information when relevant changes become known.
- Take legitimate correction requests seriously.
- Avoid presenting uncertain information as confirmed fact.
- Be transparent about the limitations of online information.
Our aim is to provide readers with useful information that is researched, reviewed, and presented responsibly.
