Review Guidelines

Review Guidelines — SRMD Indian News

*Last updated: April 2026*

SRMD Indian News publishes reviews, comparisons, and buying guides across several editorial beats — including automotive (bikes, scooters, cars, EVs), consumer technology (mobile plans, gadgets), and entertainment (web series, OTT content, Bollywood films).

Independence of Reviews

All reviews published by SRMD Indian News reflect the independent assessment of the assigned journalist. No manufacturer, brand, advertiser, or affiliate partner has editorial influence over the content, tone, rating, or conclusion of any review. If a product was provided for review, this is disclosed within the article. For our full advertising disclosure standards, see our Brand Partnerships & Advertising Policy.

Automotive Reviews & Comparisons

On-road price articles include city-specific pricing with a clear note that on-road prices vary due to road tax, registration, and insurance charges. Comparison articles compare products across standardised parameters: price, mileage, engine specifications, features, warranty, and user suitability. Specification data is sourced from manufacturer press materials, ARAI-certified figures, or credible third-party testing. Best-of lists are based on verified specifications, market pricing, and editorial judgement — with selection criteria stated at the beginning of the article.

Entertainment Reviews

Our entertainment desk publishes reviews of Bollywood films and web series (Amazon Prime Video, Netflix India, Disney+ Hotstar, JioCinema, MX Player).

Reviews are clearly opinion-based and bylined to the reviewing journalist.
Advance screening attendance or press access is disclosed where applicable.
We do not accept payment for positive film or series reviews.
Spoiler content is clearly warned before the relevant section.

Net Worth & Financial Estimate Articles

Articles estimating the net worth or brand endorsement earnings of celebrities are treated as research articles, not confirmed financial reporting. Multiple sources are consulted (see Fact-Checking Policy). Figures are presented as estimates with methodology described within the article. A disclaimer is included on every such article. These articles are not financial advice.

Affiliate Links and Monetisation

When SRMD Indian News includes affiliate links, this is disclosed within the article. The presence of affiliate links does not influence the editorial content, ranking, or recommendation. Readers who believe a review contains inaccurate data may write to editorial@srdmgroup.com with the subject line “Review Feedback.”
