Editorial policy
How we write guides for Indian clinics.
Every Vitels guide answers one question a clinic actually asks, cites the primary source for each rule, shows when it was last checked and is re-checked on a schedule. This page explains the process and what we will not publish.
From question to published post, in five steps.
One real question per post
A post starts from a question a doctor, receptionist or clinic owner actually asks. We do not write one page per keyword variant, and we do not copy a page across cities or states without facts of its own for each.
Research before writing
Each post gets a research file before any prose: the questions readers ask, what the current top results miss, and every primary source we fetched, with its address, the date we read it and the exact passage we rely on.
A claims table
Every law, date, rupee amount, number, named body and product feature in the draft is listed in a claims table and marked Verified, Needs source or Removed. A post is not published while any claim is still waiting for a source.
An edit for plain language
The draft is edited for plain sentences and Indian specifics, and checked against the NMC, consumer and data protection rules that apply to what we publish. No new facts are added at this stage.
Review and publish
The post is reviewed by a named person and goes out with its published date, last-reviewed date, sources and a note on how it was written.
Which sources count
- Primary sources only for a legal, tax, date or money claim: the Gazette of India, India Code, ministries and regulators such as the NMC, MoHFW, ABDM, MeitY, CBIC and the CPCB, state health departments, PIB and court orders.
- Peer-reviewed journals, WHO, ICMR and official statistics for numbers about health systems.
- News, legal commentary and law-firm notes only to find the primary document. They are never the citation for a claim.
- Vendor blogs, listicles and AI summaries are never cited.
What you can check yourself
- A Sources list at the end, with the date each source was accessed.
- The published date and the last-reviewed date under the title.
- Notification numbers and dates in the text where a rule depends on one, for example a G.S.R. number.
- A "How we wrote this" note saying the post was drafted with AI assistance, checked against its sources and who reviewed it.
- On compliance and tax posts, a note that it is not legal or tax advice.
When posts are re-checked
Each post is on a review register with its next review date. Posts about rules are re-checked every six months. Some are due sooner, for example after a Union Budget or a pending court order. Posts about daily operations are re-checked every six to twelve months.
A post is also re-checked when something it depends on changes: a Gazette notification, a GST Council decision, an NMC or ABDM circular, a DPDP milestone, or a change to Vitels itself. The visible review date changes only when the content changes, not when we fix a typo.
Pages that name other products
Comparison, alternative and pricing pages use only what each vendor publishes on its own website or app listing, with the date we read it. Where a vendor says nothing, we say "not stated". These pages are re-checked every quarter. The details are in the comparison methodology.
What you will not find in a Vitels guide.
- Clinical advice: no diagnosis, treatment, dosage or drug recommendations. When a rule touches clinical practice, we say what the rule says, link it, and send the reader to the rule or their council.
- Invented people, clinics, quotes, cases or statistics. Experience is written as a pattern seen at OPD desks, never as a made-up story.
- Testimonials, ratings or reviews used to promote Vitels.
- Vitels features that are not live today. Product statements come only from the list of live features, and a guide mentions Vitels only where it genuinely solves part of the problem.
- AI-generated images, video or other promotional material without an "AI-generated" label, as the NMC's October 2026 guidelines on advertising expect of doctors.
About this policy.
Are Vitels guides written by AI?
They are drafted with AI assistance. Every fact is then checked against the primary sources listed on the post, and the post is reviewed by a named person before it is published. Each post says this in its "How we wrote this" note.
Who reviews the posts?
Today every post on the blog is written and reviewed by Shaurya Pratap Singh, the founder of Vitels. No post has yet been reviewed by an outside doctor, chartered accountant or lawyer. When one is, the reviewer's name and role appear under the title.
Can I rely on a guide instead of my CA or lawyer?
No. The guides are operational guidance for clinics. Compliance and tax posts end with a note to confirm with your state authority, council or CA before you act.
How do I report a mistake?
Write to hello@vitels.in with the page address and what you think is wrong, ideally with the source. We check it against the primary source and, if the page is wrong, correct it.
