This page documents the testing protocol, update policy, affiliate policy, and corrections process that govern all content published on topcryptoexchange.in. For a summary, see our About page.

1. Testing protocol

Every exchange review on this site goes through the same five-step test before publication. Steps are documented internally with timestamps and screenshots; the screenshots you see on each review page come from these tests.

  1. Signup flow. We create a new account using an Indian email or phone number. We log every screen, every required field, and any country restriction shown to Indian users.
  2. KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. We complete the platform’s identity-verification process using an Indian PAN/Aadhaar document set, and record what is accepted, what is rejected, and how long verification took.
  3. INR deposit. We attempt a small INR deposit via UPI or P2P, depending on what the platform offers Indian users, and note any bank-side restrictions or P2P friction.
  4. Withdrawal. We test a withdrawal back to INR (where supported) or to an external crypto wallet. Time to settle and any KYC re-verification triggers are recorded.
  5. Spot or futures trade. Where relevant to the review, we place a small spot order or a low-leverage futures position to confirm the trading interface, fees, and order types match what the exchange advertises.

2. Reviewer verification

Trading-mechanics accuracy (fees, order types, leverage behaviour, liquidation mechanics) is verified by our named reviewer, Ankit Sharma, an active crypto trader based in India. Regulatory facts — FIU-IND registration status, tax rates, RBI advisories — are verified against cited .gov.in and official exchange sources at the time of review.

3. Update policy

The “Last reviewed” date on each review page reflects when the five-step test and regulatory fact-check were last re-validated. We aim to re-review actively featured exchanges every 90 days or sooner when a material regulatory or fee change occurs. When regulatory facts are involved, we re-check the cited .gov.in sources at the same time and update the Sources block accordingly.

4. Affiliate policy

topcryptoexchange.in earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When a reader follows a tracked link and signs up with a partner exchange, we receive a commission. The reader pays nothing extra.

Affiliate commissions help keep this site free for readers, but they do not buy a positive review and they do not let a partner edit our criticism. Partner exchanges are listed because we have tested them; we do not list every exchange that approaches us with a commission offer. Our full list of active partners and how affiliate links are labelled on this site is in our Affiliate Disclosure.

Where a reviewer has an independent affiliate relationship with a platform (as disclosed for Ankit Sharma and Bybit), this is disclosed on every page where that reviewer’s work appears.

5. Corrections policy

If you believe a factual error exists on any page, please contact us via the Contact page or email mail@topcryptoexchange.in. We respond to correction requests within seven working days. Confirmed errors are corrected and the “Last reviewed” date is updated. Material corrections are noted in the page’s update history where possible.

6. ASCI 2023 compliance

We follow the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) 2023 guidelines for the advertising of Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) products. The statutory ASCI disclaimer (“Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky. There may be no regulatory recourse for any loss from such transactions”) is shown in the footer of every page, in our homepage hero disclosure, and in our standalone Risk Disclosure.

7. Scope limitations

topcryptoexchange.in is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, not a Chartered Accountant, and not a licensed financial advisor. Our content is reference-style review and educational material, not personalised investment or tax advice. Where a question requires formal professional sign-off, we direct readers to an appropriately qualified professional.
