How Samiksha works

Samiksha reads only published law: Acts of Parliament, rules made under them, and guidelines issued by the regulator. Today that is nine instruments in force, listed on the home page, plus the suspended NMC 2023 Regulations, which are held separately and are never treated as law.

Every provision is stored in its own words, copied from the official text. Nothing is summarised and nothing is rewritten. When a result shows you a clause, you are reading the law as published, not a description of it.

Where each provision comes from, stated openly:

• 93 provisions have been read word for word against the official Gazette of India or the regulator's own published PDF.
• 80 provisions are taken from authoritative published texts of the Acts and Guidelines, and are being read against the Gazette one by one.

Every finding names its clause, so you can check any of them against the source yourself.

Every provision carries the date it came into force. A review uses only provisions in force on the day it is run. A provision that is suspended, or not yet in force, cannot be cited as law, whatever the advertisement says.

This is why the NMC Professional Conduct Regulations of 2023 appear only in a separate red box marked Not law today. They were notified on 2 August 2023 and held in abeyance on 23 August 2023. The NMC Guidelines on Ethical Advertising of 6 October 2026 are a different instrument. They are in force, and they are part of every review.

If you upload a poster, Samiksha first shows you every word it read from it, including small print and Hindi. Check that reading. If it is wrong, correct it, and the review runs again on your words. Both readings are kept.

The words are then compared with the provisions in force. An AI model does the reading and the matching. It is not trusted on its own:

• It cannot invent law. Every clause it cites is checked against the stored provisions, and anything that does not match exactly is removed before you see it.
• It never writes the law. The wording of each provision on your result is taken from the stored text, not produced by the AI.
• It does not guess about your records. Whether a testimonial comes from a real patient, whether a free consultation was really free, whether AI was used to make the creative, what qualification a doctor holds on the State Medical Council register: these are put to you as questions.

Every finding shows the exact words in your advertisement that touched the provision, the clause number, the date it came into force, and the provision in its own words.

Block: binding law is engaged and the words need to change.

Flag: a fact only you hold decides it, or the only provision engaged is regulator guidance rather than binding regulation. A person decides before publishing.

Nothing found: no provision Samiksha holds is engaged by these words. That is a statement about what was searched. It is not a clearance to publish.

Samiksha never uses the words compliant, approved or safe to publish.

Each review is saved with its date and time, the clauses cited, and the number of provisions in force when it ran. That record shows that you checked, what you checked against, and when. Do not paste patient names or other identifying details; everything submitted is stored.

When the law changes, Samiksha changes. The NMC Guidelines published on 6 October 2026 were read, checked against NMC's PDF and added on 7 October 2026: all 12 clauses, held as 74 separately citable provisions so each sub-clause and Explanation can be cited on its own.

Mistakes are corrected openly. Two examples:

• An automatic check rejected a clause the system cited, because one stored provision covered five separate grounds of liability together. The check was right. The provision was split into its five parts, so each can be cited on its own.
• On 7 October 2026, while reading the new NMC Guidelines, an earlier note about the 2002 Code of Ethics and the public declaration of charges was found to be wrong. It was corrected the same day.

It is not legal advice and it is not a lawyer. It does not tell you what the law allows. It shows you which published provision your words touch, in that provision's own words, so that you can decide. Where the decision matters, take it to your lawyer. Every review needs a human decision before anything is published.
