How to verify a claim about the 8th CPC
- Check PIB — official announcements appear here first.
- Check Department of Expenditure — implementation orders and resolutions.
- Check the e-Gazette — if the notification isn't there, it isn't law.
- Check the Commission's own portal for its reports and consultation documents.
- If a figure only appears in news articles or on social media, treat it as unverified.
