Corrections Policy
IFSC.co is committed to maintaining high standards of accuracy. When issues are identified, we review them promptly, verify against reliable sources, and publish updates transparently, based on verification from reliable sources.
Accuracy First: Every data point is cross-referenced with official sources. When discrepancies are found — by us or our users — we prioritize review quickly.
Transparency: All substantive corrections are logged with timestamps and visible change notes so users know what changed and when.
No Commercial Bias: Correction decisions are made solely on factual grounds. Advertisers have zero influence on what we correct or how.
User Empowerment: We treat every user-submitted correction report as a valued contribution to data quality, not an inconvenience.
