Our Editorial Standards
At Maloomati, we are committed to producing guides that are accurate, clear, and genuinely helpful. Every guide published on our platform follows a rigorous editorial process designed to ensure that the information readers act on is reliable and up to date. We understand that our readers depend on our guides to complete important tasks — from tracking a passport application to filing taxes — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Research Process
Before publishing any guide, our editorial team follows a structured verification process:
- Primary Source Verification: We verify all procedures against official government websites, published gazettes, and authorized portals. For example, passport tracking steps are verified directly against the DGIP portal, and tax filing procedures are confirmed on the FBR IRIS system.
- Real-World Testing: Where possible, our team walks through the actual process to confirm that the steps we document match the real user experience. This includes testing online portals, verifying form fields, and confirming SMS-based services.
- Fee Verification: All fees and charges mentioned in our guides are verified against the most recent official fee schedules. We note the date of last verification so readers can assess currency.
- Multi-Source Cross-Check: Critical information — such as eligibility requirements, deadlines, and processing times — is confirmed through at least two independent sources before publication.
Content Updates
Government procedures and digital services in Pakistan change frequently, often without public notice. Our editorial team maintains the accuracy of published guides through the following practices:
- High-traffic guides are reviewed monthly for accuracy against current official sources.
- When a confirmed procedural change is identified, the affected guide is updated within 48 hours.
- Every guide displays the date it was last verified or updated, so readers can assess how current the information is.
- Reader-submitted corrections are reviewed and, if verified, incorporated promptly. Corrections can be sent to editorial@maloomati.com.
What We Do Not Do
To maintain the trust of our readers, we observe strict boundaries on what Maloomati will and will not do:
- We do not provide legal, financial, or tax advice. Our guides document procedures; they do not substitute for professional consultation.
- We do not process applications or interact with government systems on behalf of users. We document how to use these systems yourself.
- We do not accept payment for favorable coverage or guide placement. Our editorial decisions are independent of commercial considerations.
- We do not publish sponsored content without clear disclosure. Any commercial relationship is transparently identified.
- We do not guarantee outcomes. Government processes involve factors beyond our control; our guides document the standard procedure as accurately as possible.
Corrections Policy
If we discover an error in a published guide — whether through our own review, reader feedback, or a change in official procedures — we follow a transparent correction process:
- Minor factual corrections (typos, updated fees, changed URLs) are made immediately and the last-updated date is refreshed.
- Significant corrections that affect the steps a reader would follow are noted with a correction notice at the top of the article, including the date the correction was made and a brief description of what changed.
- If a guide becomes substantially outdated due to a major procedural overhaul, we mark it as under review until it can be fully rewritten and re-verified.
Reader Feedback
Our readers are a vital part of our editorial process. If you notice that a procedure has changed, a link is broken, or our guide contains information that does not match your experience, please email us at editorial@maloomati.com with the guide URL and details. Every correction report is reviewed by our team.
