Common questions

How often does it arrive?
Every second Tuesday morning IST. If a statutory change lands mid-cycle, we send a short note instead of waiting.
Is it a sales channel for your programs?
No. Programs are mentioned only when an issue directly relates to one, and never more than once per issue.
Can I read past issues before subscribing?
Yes — the sample issues above show the full format. The archive list is being moved onto the site, one issue at a time.
How do I unsubscribe?
One click at the bottom of every issue. We do not ask for a reason and we do not email you again.
