As a trusted source for financial news, market insights, economic analysis, and investment knowledge, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and editorial independence.
This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and practices that govern how content is created, curated, and published on UHUDA across all platforms, including our website, newsletters, and social media.
Our Editorial Mission
Empowering individuals through trustworthy financial information.
Our content is designed to educate, inform, and guide readers of all backgrounds — from first-time investors and business owners to seasoned market participants and policy observers. We decode complex topics and provide news that is timely, actionable, and accessible.
Core Editorial Values
Our editorial approach is built on the following pillars:
1. Accuracy
Every fact, figure, quote, and claim is verified before publication. Our editorial team performs rigorous fact-checking using official sources including:
- Government portals (e.g., RBI, SEBI, Ministry of Finance)
- Stock exchanges (e.g., NSE, BSE)
- Company filings
- Reputable financial data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters)
- Research reports and whitepapers
We do not publish unverified tips, rumors, or speculative claims.
2. Independence
Our content decisions are free from interference — whether political, corporate, or commercial.
We do not allow advertisers, sponsors, or business partners to influence our editorial choices or the framing of our stories.
3. Transparency
We disclose:
- Sponsored content
- Affiliate links
- Author affiliations or potential conflicts of interest
- Financial positions of our editorial team (when relevant to coverage)
Our readers deserve to know the context behind every piece they read.
4. Impartiality
We strive to provide balanced perspectives, even when presenting opinions.
We ensure coverage of all sides of a financial or policy issue and avoid language that promotes fear, bias, or sensationalism.
