Editorial Policy

Last updated: May 17, 2026

cryptobonusindia.com produces educational content about cryptocurrency exchanges, sign-up bonuses, taxation in India, and related topics for an Indian audience. This page sets out how we source information, fact-check claims, attribute authorship, disclose AI use, and handle corrections. Every revenue-relevant article on this site is produced and reviewed against the standards below.

Editorial reviewer

Content on this site is reviewed by Anksh, an independent Crypto Market Researcher. Anksh is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or an ICAI-registered Chartered Accountant. Where content touches taxation or regulatory matters, we cite primary government materials directly rather than rely on Anksh's interpretation. See About for full reviewer profile.

Source hierarchy

We prioritise sources in the following order. Higher-tier sources override lower-tier ones in case of conflict.

  1. Primary government sources: incometaxindia.gov.in, rbi.org.in, fiuindia.gov.in, sebi.gov.in, the Income-tax Act 1961, Finance Act 2022, Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002 and its amendments.
  2. Regulator and industry-body publications: Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Guidelines, RBI circulars, CBDT clarifications and notifications.
  3. Official exchange documentation: direct exchange policy pages, KYC documentation, fee schedules, and bonus terms-and-conditions published by the exchange on its own domain.
  4. Tier-1 financial press: Reuters, Bloomberg, Mint, Economic Times Markets, The Hindu BusinessLine.

We do not cite Twitter/X posts, Reddit threads, Telegram channels, or unbranded blog aggregators as factual sources. Influencer claims are not treated as primary evidence for tax, regulatory, or bonus-amount facts.

Fact-checking

Every numeric or regulatory claim must be traceable to a source in the hierarchy above. Bonus amounts, deposit minimums, and withdrawal terms are verified against the exchange's own public documentation at the time of writing. Tax rates and regulatory citations include inline links to the relevant section of the Income-tax Act, PMLA, or regulator website.

Review cadence

Every revenue-relevant page is reviewed against current regulations and current exchange terms at least every 90 days. The "Last updated" date in the article body reflects the most recent substantive review, not minor copy-edits or formatting changes. Pages that have not been reviewed in the previous 180 days are flagged for refresh or removal.

Corrections policy

Confirmed factual errors are corrected within 5 business days of receipt. Material corrections — those that change the meaning, the numeric claim, or the regulatory interpretation — are marked with a visible note at the top of the affected article in the format: Correction (YYYY-MM-DD): [description of what was wrong and what changed]. Minor typo fixes, broken-link repairs, and stylistic edits are not marked.

To report a correction, email corrections@cryptobonusindia.com with the URL and a brief description. See contact page.

Affiliate independence

cryptobonusindia.com is supported by affiliate commissions earned when readers register with partner exchanges (see Affiliate Disclosure). Affiliate relationships influence which exchanges we feature and the prominence we give them. They do not influence our description of an exchange's terms, fees, KYC procedure, withdrawal rules, or known risks. Where an affiliate exchange has unfavourable terms (long lock-ups, high turnover requirements, ambiguous KYC, regional restrictions), we describe them factually.

We do not accept paid editorial placements, sponsored reviews disguised as editorial, or content written by exchanges for publication on this site.

AI-assisted production

Some article drafts on this site are produced with the assistance of generative AI tools. All AI-generated text is reviewed line-by-line, fact-checked against the source hierarchy above, and edited by the named editorial reviewer before publication. AI-only output is never published. AI tools are not used to fabricate quotes, source citations, or regulatory references.

Conflicts of interest

The site operator and editorial reviewer may hold cryptocurrency positions or accounts on exchanges reviewed on this site. We do not publish price predictions, "buy" recommendations, or coin-specific investment recommendations. Bonus reviews focus on promotional structure and user-flow, not on the underlying merits of any cryptocurrency as an investment.

What this site is not

  • This is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
  • This is not a regulated investment-research publication.
  • This is not an exchange, broker, custodian, or payment provider.
  • This is not an endorsement of cryptocurrency as a suitable investment for any specific reader.

Risk acknowledgement

Crypto trading is not regulated as a financial activity in India for investor-protection purposes. There is no statutory recourse for trading losses or exchange-side failures. Past performance does not predict future results. Readers should consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before investing and an Indian Chartered Accountant for tax matters specific to their situation.
