Corrections & Updates Policy
Last Updated: October 2025
Mahadev Book is committed to accuracy, integrity, and public trust.
This Corrections & Updates Policy explains how mahadevbookks.com detects, verifies, and corrects factual or editorial errors, ensuring complete transparency with readers.
We believe accountability strengthens the credibility of our educational mission.
1. Purpose of This Policy
The objective of this policy is to describe our internal procedures for reviewing, correcting, and updating published content.
Mahadev Book recognizes that despite careful editing, occasional mistakes or outdated information can occur.
We act swiftly to fix them in a visible, responsible, and documented manner.
2. Editorial Accuracy Standards
Before publication, all materials undergo multiple layers of review—fact-checking, plagiarism screening, and compliance verification.
Nevertheless, when errors are identified post-publication, Mahadev Book ensures they are corrected transparently and without delay.
3. Types of Corrections
- Minor Corrections: Typos, formatting issues, or grammar changes that do not alter meaning. These are silently corrected without a public note.
- Substantive Corrections: Factual inaccuracies, data errors, or misquotes. A correction note is added at the bottom of the article.
- Policy Revisions: When legal, editorial, or compliance pages are updated, the “Last Updated” date is changed and a summary appears in our Transparency Report.
4. Requesting a Correction
Readers may request corrections or updates by contacting us through the Contact page.
Each request must include:
- The URL or title of the content in question;
- A clear description of the suspected error with supporting evidence;
- Your name and email (for follow-up);
- Optional references (e.g., official sources or documents).
Submissions lacking sufficient detail may be returned for clarification before review.
5. Internal Review Procedure
When a correction request is received, Mahadev Book follows these steps:
- Acknowledge: We confirm receipt within 48 hours.
- Verify: The editorial team reviews the claim against reliable sources and internal records.
- Consult: If necessary, subject-matter experts or external advisors are consulted.
- Act: Corrections are implemented and documented in our log within 10 working days.
- Notify: The requester is informed of the outcome.
6. Correction Notices and Transparency
When a significant correction is made, a note is added to the bottom of the page that reads, for example:
“Correction (October 2025): An earlier version of this article misstated [details]. It has been updated to reflect accurate information.”
This ensures readers understand what was changed and why.
7. Archiving Old Versions
In the interest of transparency, Mahadev Book may archive major versions of important pages.
Archived copies are stored internally for reference and audit but not displayed publicly to avoid confusion.
8. Updating Content for Relevance
Besides error correction, Mahadev Book periodically updates content to maintain accuracy and relevance.
Updates may include new statistics, regulatory changes, or improved clarifications without necessarily indicating a correction note.
Each policy page includes a visible “Last Updated” timestamp.
9. Editorial Responsibility and Accountability
The Editorial Team and Compliance Officer share joint responsibility for accuracy and correction oversight.
No editor may alter content to conceal errors or manipulate facts.
All modifications are logged internally and audited quarterly.
10. Third-Party Information
Mahadev Book references external sources for educational purposes. If a third-party source updates its data or withdraws information, we revise our articles accordingly and add a notice where necessary.
We are not liable for external errors but commit to reflecting accurate information once verified.
11. User-Generated Content
Comments and community submissions are subject to moderation under our Community Guidelines.
If user posts contain inaccurate or harmful claims, they may be removed or edited with an admin note explaining the reason.
12. Publication Logs and Transparency Report
Mahadev Book maintains a centralized publication log of all significant corrections, policy revisions, and content updates.
A summary of these changes appears periodically in our Transparency Report to keep readers informed.
13. Legal and Ethical Compliance
This policy aligns with the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and other relevant media ethics frameworks.
Our goal is to ensure fairness, credibility, and user protection in all forms of content correction.
14. Grievance Redressal Integration
If a user disagrees with how a correction was handled, they may escalate the issue under the Grievance Redressal Policy.
We encourage constructive feedback to refine our editorial standards.
15. Review and Continuous Improvement
The Corrections & Updates Policy is reviewed annually by the Compliance Team and Editorial Board to ensure alignment with best practices in digital media ethics and fact-checking.
All major changes are publicly logged and timestamped.
