Affiliate Disclosure

What is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that identifies TaxSocial as the source of a click. When you follow such a link and complete an action — typically signing up for a service, opening an account, or buying a product — the merchant pays TaxSocial a small commission. The price you pay does not change because of the affiliate link.

Which Merchants?

TaxSocial may have affiliate relationships with various Indian financial services and tax-related platforms, including but not limited to:

• Tax filing platforms (e.g., ClearTax, Quicko, TaxBuddy)
• Stock brokers and investment platforms (e.g., Groww, Upstox, Angel One, Dhan)
• Neo-banks and digital banking apps (e.g., Jupiter, Fi, Niyo)
• Credit card providers (e.g., OneCard, Slice, co-branded RuPay cards)
• Insurance aggregators (e.g., Policybazaar, Ditto)
• Lending platforms and NBFCs (e.g., Bajaj Finserv)
• Marketplaces (e.g., Amazon Associates for tax-related books)
• Affiliate networks (Cuelinks, INRDeals) that aggregate the above

This list evolves as we add or remove partnerships. The presence of a merchant here does not constitute endorsement.

How We Label Affiliate Links

Where commercial relationships exist, we label them:

• Article-level call-to-action boxes for products clearly identify the affiliate relationship in their text.
• Inline product mentions converted automatically by our affiliate network include a small "Ad" or "Affiliate" indicator where rendered.
• Authentic editorial mentions that are NOT monetized are not labeled — those reflect the author's analysis.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not buy editorial coverage. Specifically:

• We do not soften criticism of any merchant we have an affiliate relationship with.
• We do not refuse to cover merchants with whom we have no affiliate relationship.
• Article authors are not paid based on which products they recommend.
• When an article compares competing products (e.g., broker A vs broker B), the analysis is independent of which merchant pays a higher commission.

If you ever feel an article is biased due to an affiliate relationship, please write to our Grievance Officer at the address on the Grievance Officer page.

Not Financial or Tax Advice

An affiliate relationship is not a recommendation that any particular product or service is right for you. Tax and financial decisions should be made based on your personal circumstances, ideally with a qualified Chartered Accountant or financial advisor. The fact that we display an affiliate link to a stockbroker or tax-filing platform does not mean that product is appropriate for your needs. See our Disclaimer for the broader limitations of TaxSocial's content.

Your Choice

You are never required to use our affiliate links. You may always navigate directly to any merchant's website and complete the same action there. We provide affiliate links as a convenience, and to fund the continued operation of TaxSocial.

Cookies and Tracking

Affiliate links typically set a third-party cookie in your browser that identifies TaxSocial as the referrer for a limited period (commonly 30 to 60 days, varies by merchant). If you complete a qualifying action with that merchant during the cookie window, TaxSocial earns a commission. You can clear these cookies through your browser at any time. See our Privacy Policy for more on how TaxSocial handles tracking.

Disclosures Per Indian Law

This page satisfies the disclosure expectations set by Indian consumer protection norms for affiliate marketing, and aligns with the FTC's Endorsement Guides (commonly referenced for international audiences). TaxSocial does not represent any merchant as an Authorised Person (AP) or sub-broker under SEBI rules; affiliate relationships are limited to lead generation through approved affiliate networks.
