How Sachi checks its facts

Which sources do the guides use?

Every legal, tax and price fact in a guide comes from a primary source. Primary sources are the text of an Act or its Rules, a government notification, an official portal such as Karnataka RERA, IGR Karnataka and Kaveri 2.0, and the directions of the Reserve Bank of India. A guide names the section or paragraph it relies on, and links to the official text in its Sources list. If a fact comes only from a news report, the sentence says so. If we could not open a source, the guide does not state the fact.

What does "Last checked" mean?

"Last checked" is the date on which someone opened the sources of a guide and compared each number with them. Each source in the Sources list also shows its own checked date. "Published" is the date the guide first went live. We re-check every guide at least every 90 days. We re-check a legal or tax guide sooner when the rule it describes changes.

How is a guide checked before it goes live?

Before a guide goes live, a second, independent check re-reads each fact against its primary source. That check is separate from the writing. If the check finds a wrong number or a section that does not say what the guide says, we correct the guide before it is published. The guides explain the rules that apply to every buyer. For a decision on your own flat, confirm the details with a lawyer or a tax adviser.

Where does Sachi's own data come from?

Some guides include a number that Sachi computed itself, for example from the project records that builders file with Karnataka RERA. Each such number states the records it comes from and the date of the data. Where Sachi holds no original data for a topic, the guide says so.

How do I report a mistake?

Send the page link and the line you think is wrong to Sachi on WhatsApp. We check the source again and correct the guide. A correction moves the "Last checked" date.
