Editorial Policy — PakRoz

Published: 30 October 2026 · Updated: 30 October 2026

This page explains how PakRoz gathers, checks and maintains the information it publishes — rates, calculations and job listings — so readers can judge how much trust to place in each number and each listing.

How rates are collected and dated

Gold and silver rates come from the All Pakistan Gems & Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) daily rates, as reported by named market sources. Currency rates come from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) interbank figures. Where a live data feed is available (for example the currency and gold feeds and Open-Meteo weather), the site tries the live feed first. Every rate card shows its value together with an Updated date, its Source, and a visible checked-time line. If a live feed cannot load, the card keeps showing the last verified dated update and the status line says plainly: “Live data unavailable — showing last verified update.” A number whose date or source cannot be confirmed is not published.

How sources are verified

Each figure is matched against its primary source — the association, the central bank, the regulator or the official publisher — rather than copied from another roundup site. When two sources disagree, the primary source wins and the difference is noted where it matters. Tax figures follow the Finance Act and FBR slabs for the tax year named on the page; electricity figures follow the NEPRA tariff named on the page.

How corrections are made

If a reader reports an error through the Contact page — with the rate, the date and a source — the claim is checked against the primary source. A verified correction is updated on the page, and the page’s Updated date changes with it. PakRoz does not quietly change a historical figure without changing its date.

How calculations are tested

Every calculator is tested against worked examples calculated by hand before it is published — for example, a zakat example worked through step by step, a salary-tax example checked against the published FBR slab table, and an electricity example checked against the NEPRA tariff slabs. Calculators run entirely in the reader’s browser; nothing typed into them is uploaded or stored. Where a tariff or slab changes, the calculator and its explanation are updated together and the change is dated.

How jobs are verified

Job listings are taken only from official sources: the employer’s own website, the National Job Portal, the public service commissions (FPSC, PPSC, SPSC, KPPSC, BPSC), the armed forces’ official recruitment pages, or a named official advertisement. Before a listing is published, the post title, number of posts and last date are confirmed on the official source, and the listing carries the date it was checked. Applications always happen on the official website — PakRoz never accepts applications and never charges job seekers. Listings that ask for money, or that cannot be confirmed on an official source, are not published; the guide “How to Spot a Fake Job” explains the warning signs.

How scholarships are listed

Scholarships are listed only when the programme is a genuine, fully funded scheme run by a government, university or official foundation, and every listing links to that programme’s official website — never to an agent, blog or aggregator. Because application rounds and deadlines change every year, PakRoz does not print deadlines; each listing tells readers to check the current round on the official website. PakRoz never charges students and never takes applications.

Advertising

Advertising is kept separate from tools and results: no advertisement is placed inside a calculator’s input, between a result and its explanation, or in the middle of a form. Editorial decisions are never sold.
