Verified numbers — web-grounded fact-check ledger
Why this existsThe numbers bankers rely on must be right. Every critical headline figure BankPulse publishes — the repo rate, CRR, SLR and more — is independently checked against current public sources by a web-grounded frontier audit, then signed off by Vikram Jain, a Chartered Accountant, and linked to its official page on rbi.org.in so you can verify it yourself.

How we verify a number
For critical numbers and claims we run a web-grounded check against current public sources (an independent frontier audit that browses the live web), in addition to our standard three-model AI consensus fact-check. The figure is published only after a final sign-off by Vikram Jain, a Chartered Accountant with 20+ years of banking experience. See our methodology and editorial standards for the full process, and the changelog for corrections.
