How we write
Guides describe rules and trade-offs; they do not recommend specific products. Figures such as tax slabs and scheme rates are checked against published government and regulator notices at the time of writing and carry the month of the last update. Rules change, so confirm anything important before acting. Spotted an error? Tell us.
