How we check our data

Money pages have to be right. This is how we build and maintain every page on helloaccounting.

Sources

We only use official or officially published data: the RBI IFSC and MICR list, India Post's pin code directory on data.gov.in, Ministry of Finance notifications for small savings rates, the Finance Act and Income Tax Department for tax, EPFO for EPF, PFRDA for NPS and CBIC and the GST Council for GST. We do not copy figures from other websites.

Checks

• Bank and postal data is cleaned automatically: state names are standardised, and test or dummy records are removed.
• Every calculator is tested against published examples before release, for example the ₹12 lakh income tax rebate and standard PPF and SIP results.
• Each calculator page shows its formula and a worked example so readers can check the result.

Update schedule

• Small savings rates: every quarter, when the Ministry of Finance announces them. Current: October to December 2026, checked 14 November 2026.
• Income tax: after each Union Budget and any mid-year change.
• EPF: when EPFO declares the year's rate.
• IFSC, MICR and pin codes: refreshed from the source datasets regularly, and immediately for reported errors.

Corrections

Report a mistake with "Spot a mistake on this page?" on any bank or post office page, or email support@kaeltripton.com. We check every report against the official source and fix confirmed errors, usually within a few working days.
