Editorial Policy
Our commitment to accuracy, independence, and trustworthy financial information.

Our Editorial Mission
BorrowBetter exists to make home loan decisions less confusing, more transparent, and genuinely better for Indian borrowers. Every article, calculator, guide, and comparison we publish must pass a single test: does this genuinely help the reader make a better financial decision?
We are not commissioned by banks. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. We do not promote financial products based on affiliate arrangements that conflict with reader interests.

Mortgage Advisory Specialists
Professionals with direct experience in home loan underwriting and advisory.
Certified Financial Planners
CFPs who review content for accuracy and alignment with sound financial planning principles.

Content Standards
All BorrowBetter content must meet these standards:
Factual Accuracy
All statistics, interest rates, and policy data must be sourced from official bank websites, RBI publications, or reputable financial institutions. Sources are cited wherever applicable.
Independence
Editorial decisions are never influenced by commercial relationships. No bank, lender, or financial institution can pay to influence our editorial coverage.
No Clickbait
Headlines and descriptions must accurately reflect the content. We do not use sensational, misleading, or exaggerated claims.
Clarity
Complex financial topics must be explained in plain language with practical examples. We write for a general Indian audience, not finance specialists.
Completeness
Content must cover both advantages and disadvantages of financial products. We present balanced perspectives that help readers make informed decisions.
Review & Update Process
Financial information changes. Interest rates shift. RBI policies evolve. We maintain content freshness through:
- Quarterly full audits of all product pages and calculators
- Immediate updates when RBI changes repo rate or bank lending rates shift significantly
- Monthly review of eligibility criteria data from banks
- All articles display a 'Last Updated' date so readers know how current the information is
- User feedback mechanism — readers can flag outdated information for immediate review
Sources & Citations
We cite sources for all factual claims. Primary sources include: RBI official website, bank official websites, SEBI publications, IRDAI notifications, and peer-reviewed financial research. Where we reference third-party research, we link directly to the original source.
Corrections Policy
If you believe any BorrowBetter content contains a factual error, please contact us at editorial@borrowbetter.tech. We investigate all correction requests within 48 hours and publish corrections prominently when errors are confirmed. We do not silently edit content — corrections are noted with a date.
