✏️ Correction Policy

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

Every article and guide published on Annapurnabhandarr.in is based on official West Bengal government notifications, trusted news sources, and direct information from official government portals. Before publishing, our team reviews all content to ensure it is accurate and correctly represents the information from its source.

However, we acknowledge that:

• Government scheme rules can change at any time — sometimes without advance notice
• Official portals may be updated before we are able to reflect those changes
• Human error in writing or interpretation is always a possibility
• Some information may become outdated as the scheme evolves

When errors occur — whether factual mistakes, outdated information, or misrepresentation — we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently, and without altering the historical record of what was originally published.

2. Types of Corrections We Make

Minor Corrections

Minor corrections include typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, broken links, or small factual inaccuracies that do not substantially change the meaning of the content. These are corrected immediately without a formal notice, but we update the "Last Updated" date on the article.

Significant Corrections

Significant corrections involve factual errors that could mislead readers — for example, an incorrect eligibility age, a wrong payment amount, an incorrect deadline, or an inaccurate process description. For these:

• We correct the article immediately
• We add a visible correction notice at the top or bottom of the relevant article explaining what was corrected and when
• We update the "Last Updated" date on the article
• We do not silently delete or rewrite the original error — we acknowledge it clearly

Content Updates

When government rules change — such as a new deadline, a revised eligibility condition, or a new payment amount — we update the relevant articles to reflect the current information and add a note indicating what changed and when the update was made.

3. How to Report an Error

We actively encourage readers to report errors, outdated information, or anything that seems inaccurate. Your feedback helps us serve the community better.

5. What We Will NOT Change

We do not make the following types of changes in response to external requests:

• We will not remove factually accurate information simply because someone finds it inconvenient or unflattering
• We will not alter our editorial analysis, opinions, or interpretations unless they are based on a factual error
• We will not delete correction notices once they have been published — our correction record is permanent
• We will not accept payment to alter or suppress any information on this website

6. Proactive Content Updates

In addition to responding to reader corrections, we proactively monitor the following to keep our content current:

• Official announcements from the Women and Child Development and Social Welfare Department, Government of West Bengal
• Updates to the official portals: socialregistry.wb.gov.in and socialsecurity.wb.gov.in
• State government press releases and official gazette notifications
• Trusted news media reporting on the Annapurna Bhandar Yojana

When we identify that scheme rules or processes have changed, we update the relevant articles immediately and mark them with the updated date.

7. Transparency Statement

All significant corrections made to our content are recorded with a date stamp and a brief note explaining what was changed. We believe transparency builds trust — and our readers deserve to know when and why content has been updated.

We will never silently alter published content to hide an earlier error. All corrections will be clearly noted on the relevant page.
