Editorial Policy
Who writes and reviews what you read on this site, how we source it, and how we keep it current.
Beacon Filing publishes guidance on company registration, taxation, and compliance in India — decisions people make with real money and real deadlines on the line. This page explains, plainly, who writes that guidance, who is responsible for checking it, where it comes from, and what to do if we get something wrong.
Who Writes Our Content
Every guide, glossary entry, and country page on Beacon Filing carries a named byline — not an anonymous or generic “staff” credit. Drafting is done by our team of practitioners: Jyoti Jaiswal (secretarial & FDI), Shreya Pandey (corporate compliance), Ayushi Chauhan (FDI & ECB advisory), Sachin Verma (accounting), and Anuj Singh (tax advisory), each writing within their day-to-day area of practice. You will find the author of any given page named directly beneath its title.
Manu Rao, our Chief Marketing Officer, occasionally contributes business and market commentary — growth trends, cross-border outreach, that kind of writing. He does not author or review tax or legal content; that work always carries a credentialed reviewer, described below.
Who Reviews It
Nothing on this site publishes without review by a qualified professional on our leadership team. Tax, GST, TDS, FEMA, and DTAA content is reviewed by Dev Rao, a practising Chartered Accountant and our founder. Company registration, secretarial, and corporate-governance content is reviewed by Priyanka Khurana, a practising Company Secretary. Where the reviewer differs from the author, both names appear in the byline; where an article was written by the reviewer directly, only one name shows.
Sourcing Standards
We build our content from primary sources wherever they exist: the Companies Act, 2013; the Income Tax Act; FEMA regulations and RBI master directions and circulars; GST law; and notifications published directly on government portals — mca.gov.in, incometax.gov.in, gst.gov.in, and rbi.org.in. Where a rule has changed recently, we link to the underlying notification or circular rather than a secondary summary, so you can check it yourself.
Keeping Content Current
Indian tax and compliance rules move often — thresholds, forms, fee schedules, and filing deadlines are amended by government notification, sometimes with little advance notice. We run periodic fact-verification sweeps across our published content, checking dates, figures, and cited provisions against current government sources, and correcting anything that has drifted out of date. This is an ongoing practice, not a one-time check done at the moment of publication.
Report an Error
If you spot something that looks outdated or incorrect — a rate, a deadline, a form name, a citation — please tell us. Reach us through our contact page with the page URL and what looks wrong, and we will verify it against the primary source and correct it.
