How this site's figures and legal explanations are produced

This page explains where the domain list comes from, how a creation date is obtained, what a creation date can mislead about, why the legal pages rest on statutes and not on feeds, and what this site refuses to infer from a young domain.

Where the domain list comes from and how a date is obtained

The domains in the table are those that appear in SEBI cautions and the RBI Alert List already read by the sister pages of this network. For each domain the creation date is read from public registration data (RDAP or WHOIS) when the domain is first added and rechecked monthly. No scheme is ranked, rated or called anything by this site.

The table names the domain as written in the regulator's entry, the creation date from public registration data, and the list the entry came from. The dates are not verified with the domain owner or with the regulator. Registration data can be hidden behind a privacy service, can be updated when a domain is transferred, and does not show who operates a site.

What a creation date can mislead about

A domain can be transferred to a new owner, re-registered after lapsing, or hidden behind a privacy service; the public creation date may then reflect the current registration rather than the site's first appearance. A rebrand can move a scheme to a new domain, so an old domain may look younger than the scheme, and a new domain may look older if the previous owner used it for something else.

The creation date is not evidence of who operates the site, where the business is run, or what the site promises. This site does not infer that a young domain is evidence of wrongdoing and does not infer that an old domain is evidence of trust. The date is only one observational clue among several records.

Why the legal pages rest on statutes and not on feeds

The legal explanations on this site are written from statutes and regulator pages, which are named in each page. They do not depend on any feed of domain dates, and they do not change when a new domain is added to the table. The Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes law, the direct-selling rules and the Sachet portal are described from their own texts and from regulator guidance.

A statute is fixed until amended; a regulator's page can change without notice. Where this site explains a law, it does so in words, without citing penalties or numbers, and without naming any business. The reader is told where to find the current text and the relevant regulator.

What this site refuses to infer from a young domain

This site does not call any entity a scam or a fraud, does not accuse a named entity, and does not name an entity in the prose. A listing in a regulator's warning list is a regulator's act, not this site's verdict. A young domain is not evidence of wrongdoing, and an old domain is not evidence of trust.

No scheme is ranked, rated or called anything. The reader decides what to do after reading the four records this site explains: the company register, the deposit law, the Sachet portal and the direct-selling rules. The domain date is only a clue, and this site does not promise that a check makes a platform safe.
