At Why Share Is Falling, accuracy is the foundation of our credibility. We recognize that financial information directly impacts investment decisions, which is why every article published on the website undergoes a rigorous, multi-layer fact-checking process before it goes live. This policy outlines our transparent and systematic approach to verification.
1. Scope of Fact-Checking
Every claim related to share price movements, quarterly results, regulatory actions, management changes, mergers, acquisitions, legal disputes, or sector-specific developments in Auto, Finance, IT, and Pharma is treated as verifiable. Opinion pieces and market commentary are clearly distinguished from factual reporting.
2. Primary Source Priority
We rely first and foremost on official, authoritative sources:
- BSE and NSE filings (financial results, board meeting outcomes, insider trading data)
- SEBI, RBI, IRDAI, FDA, and other regulatory orders and circulars
- Company press releases and investor presentations from official websites
- Earnings call transcripts and webcasts hosted by the company
- Government publications and authenticated industry reports
Direct hyperlinks to these documents are provided wherever possible.
3. Multiple Source Verification
No critical financial number, percentage drop, or reason behind a share price fall is published based on a single source. We cross-check every material fact with at least two independent, credible sources. For example, a reported decline in net profit is verified against both the company’s regulatory filing and the exchange announcement.
4. Data Validation Process
- All numerical data (revenue, profit, debt, market cap, percentage change) is manually re-calculated or validated against the original PDF or Excel files submitted to exchanges.
- Share price movement claims are verified using official closing prices from NSE/BSE at the time of writing.
- Historical comparisons are checked against authenticated databases.
5. Attribution and Transparency
Every statistic, direct quote, or specific reason attributed to management or regulators carries a clear source link or reference. Readers can click and verify the original document themselves. When charts or infographics are used, the exact source and date are mentioned below them.
6. Pre-Publication Review
Every article passes through two mandatory editorial checks:
a) First-level check by the author for source accuracy
b) Second-level review by the editor (Ronit Kale) who independently verifies at least the five most important claims in the article
Only after both approvals is the article scheduled for publication.
7. Handling of Market Rumours
Unconfirmed rumours, unverified tips, or social media speculation are never presented as facts. If a rumour is widely circulating and materially affecting share price, we may cover it only to clarify its status as “unconfirmed” and simultaneously provide the official position (or absence of it) from the company or regulator.
8. Use of Anonymous Sources
Anonymous sources are used only in exceptional circumstances when public interest is involved and the information can be corroborated through documents or multiple independent channels. Even then, the editor personally verifies the credibility before publication.
9. Post-Publication Corrections
If any error is discovered after publication:
- A correction notice is added at the top of the article within 24 hours, clearly stating what was wrong and what the correct information is.
- The original incorrect portion is struck through (but retained for transparency) and replaced with the accurate data.
- A separate “Correction Log” section at the bottom of the article records the date and nature of correction.
- In case of major errors, an apology is issued prominently.
10. Reader Feedback Mechanism
Readers can point out potential inaccuracies by writing to contact@thesikkimgame.com. Every genuine claim is investigated within 48 hours. If verified, corrections are made immediately with due credit to the reader who flagged the issue.
11. Training and Accountability
The entire editorial team, including the founder Ronit Kale, undergoes periodic training on financial reporting standards and fact-checking protocols. All team members are bound by this policy in writing.
12. Commitment to Continuous Improvement
This Fact-Checking Policy is reviewed annually or whenever significant regulatory changes occur in financial reporting norms. The latest version is always available on this page.
By implementing this strict fact-checking framework, Why Share Is Falling ensures that Indian investors receive reliable, verifiable, and responsible analysis of why share prices move—especially when they fall. We believe trustworthy information is the first line of protection for retail investors in volatile markets.
