Correction Policy

At PMYojanaUpdates.com we take accuracy seriously. Our readers use our guides to decide whether they qualify for government schemes, what documents to gather and when to apply — so an error on our site can cost someone real time or money. This Correction Policy explains how to report a mistake, how we investigate it, how quickly we fix it, and how we tell readers when something important has changed.

How to report an error

If you spot an incorrect figure, an outdated deadline, a broken official link or any other mistake, please email us at pmyojnaupdates@gmail.com. To help us act quickly, include:

  • The page link (URL) where you saw the problem
  • The exact text or figure you believe is wrong
  • What the correct information is, if you know it
  • An official source link (government portal, notification or press release), if available

You do not need to be an expert to report something. If a page simply seems unclear or contradicts what an official portal told you, tell us — that is useful feedback too.

How we handle corrections

  1. Acknowledge: we read every genuine report we receive.
  2. Verify: we check the claim against official government sources — the scheme portal, ministry website, gazette notification or an official press release — never against other blogs.
  3. Correct: if the information is wrong, we update the page as quickly as we reasonably can.
  4. Record: for significant changes we note that the page has been updated, so readers know the information has been revised.
  5. Respond: where you have given us contact details, we try to let you know the outcome.

Types of corrections

TypeHow we handle it
Typos & formattingFixed silently — no note needed
Outdated detail (rate, deadline, rule changed)Page updated and the updated date refreshed
Factual error (wrong amount, eligibility or step)Corrected promptly; significant errors are noted on the page
Broken or changed official linkLink updated to the current official page
Whole-page issuePage rewritten, or temporarily unpublished until it can be corrected

How quickly we act

Corrections that could affect a reader’s money or eligibility — wrong benefit amounts, wrong deadlines, wrong eligibility rules — are treated as urgent and prioritised above all other work. Less critical fixes such as typos, phrasing and formatting are handled as part of our routine content reviews.

Proactive corrections

We do not wait for complaints. Because scheme rules, interest rates and deadlines change frequently, we review our most-read guides regularly and update them when the government revises a scheme. If an official announcement changes something we have published, we correct the affected pages rather than leaving outdated information online. Our verification process is described in full in our Fact Checking Policy.

When we cannot make a change

Occasionally we receive requests to change information that is in fact correct according to official sources, or requests to present unconfirmed rumours as fact — for example an “expected” installment date that the government has not announced. In those cases we will politely explain our position rather than publish something we cannot verify. We also clearly mark information that varies by state instead of presenting one state’s rule as national.

Our commitment

Because government schemes affect people’s income, housing, health and pensions, we would rather correct an error openly than quietly leave it in place. Transparent corrections are part of how we earn and keep our readers’ trust.

Reader feedback beyond corrections

Not every message is a correction request, and that is fine. Readers often write to tell us a government portal has changed its layout, that a step in our guide no longer matches what they see on screen, or that a scheme rule was applied differently in their district. This kind of on-the-ground feedback is genuinely valuable — it frequently reveals changes before they are formally announced, and it helps us keep our step-by-step instructions matching what people actually encounter.

  • Portal changes: tell us if a button, menu or page name in our steps no longer exists
  • Local variations: tell us if your state or district applies a rule differently
  • Missing information: tell us what question our guide failed to answer for you

We treat this feedback as a signal to re-verify the page against the official source, and we update our guide if the official process has genuinely changed.
