Editorial Policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

PakGains publishes information about money for Pakistanis at home and abroad: banking, remittances, brokerages, crypto, tax and currency. Because readers may act on it, we hold ourselves to the standards below.

1. What we publish, and for whom

We write educational guides and build calculators and data pages. We do not give personal financial, tax or legal advice, and we are not a broker, exchange, bank or fund manager. See our financial disclaimer.

2. How we research

• Primary sources first. For rules and requirements we go to official sources: the State Bank of Pakistan, the FBR, the SECP, the Pakistan Stock Exchange, other regulators, and the providers' own pages.
• Secondary sources for context. News reports, law-firm notes and consultancy blogs help us understand a topic. We say so when we rely on them instead of an official document.
• Unsettled rules are labelled. Where the law or a policy is proposed, disputed or unclear, we separate what is in force from what is reported or expected, instead of presenting one version as fact.

3. Sources and citations

Guides list the sources behind their key claims. Figures that we could not verify are marked as such or left out. Time-sensitive details such as fees, limits and eligibility carry the date they were checked.

4. Who writes and reviews

Every article is credited to its author, who has a public profile on our team page. Posts on tax, regulation and crypto are checked against official sources before they go live. A guide is not published if its main claims cannot be traced to a source.

5. Updates and freshness

• Articles show when they were published and, when materially changed, when they were updated.
• We re-check time-sensitive guides regularly and show when the last check happened.
• If a guide can no longer be kept accurate, we rewrite it, merge it into a better one, or remove it.

6. Calculators and data

Our tools use third-party data and published tax slabs, and say where each number comes from. Currency, gold and crypto figures are estimates or mid-market references, not quotes. Where we derive a number, such as gold in PKR, we explain how. See the methodology on the dashboard, the tools page and each calculator.

7. Independence and advertising

• PakGains may be funded by advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertisers do not see or influence our content.
• We do not accept payment for favourable coverage. If we ever use affiliate links or sponsored content, we will label them clearly.
• Authors disclose a relevant personal interest in a product or asset they write about.

8. Corrections

If you find an error or an out-of-date detail, email support@pakgains.com or use the contact page, with the page address and what should change. We check the report against sources and fix confirmed errors. When a correction changes the meaning of a guide, we note it on the page and in the log below.
