Editorial Policy
This page describes how content on checkpakbills.org is produced, who is accountable for it, and how we correct mistakes.
Last updated: · Published by the BillCheck Pakistan editorial team
What we publish
We publish three kinds of content: provider reference pages (how to check a specific utility bill), city pages (which utilities serve a given city), and explanatory articles about billing in Pakistan — tariff slabs, surcharges, meter reading, and payment channels.
How we research
Primary sources come first: the provider's own portal and customer-service documentation, NEPRA and OGRA notifications, and PITC's central billing system. Where a claim depends on a figure that changes (a tariff slab, a due-date rule), we cite the source and the date we checked it.
Human review and our use of AI
We are transparent about this: some drafts are assisted by AI tooling. No draft is published automatically. Every article passes a human editorial review that checks factual claims against the provider's own material, removes repetition and filler, verifies internal links resolve, and confirms the page answers the question its title promises. Anything that fails review is rewritten or discarded.
We also apply an automated quality gate before publication that enforces a minimum depth of coverage, a unique title and description, correct heading structure, and meaningful internal links. Content that does not meet the threshold cannot be published.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently of advertising. No advertiser, provider, or affiliate partner reviews or approves our content before publication, and no page is written in exchange for payment. See our Advertising Policy for how commercial content is separated.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Email editor@checkpakbills.org with the URL and the issue. Factual corrections are made within 3 working days; substantive corrections are noted at the foot of the article with the date.
Review schedule
Provider pages and links are re-verified quarterly, and immediately whenever a reader reports a broken portal. Every page shows the date it was last updated so you can judge how current it is.
What we will not do
- Republish another site's article, in whole or in part.
- Publish a page that exists only to carry ads or rank for a keyword.
- Invent statistics, testimonials, or expert quotes.
- Use clickbait headlines that the page does not deliver on.
