Every material correction we have published. Open log, dated, with a link to the corrected story.

BazaarBaazi treats corrections as a public good. When we get a quantitative or factual claim wrong we fix it, log the fix, and explain what changed. This page is the canonical record. It is also linked from the foot of every story that has been corrected.

How to report a correction

Email [email protected] with the URL of the story, the specific claim you believe is incorrect, and a primary source for the correct figure or fact where possible. We aim to acknowledge every report within 24 hours and to publish a material correction within 48 hours. Where the report does not justify a correction we will reply explaining why.

What counts as a material correction

A misstated quantitative figure (price, percentage, amount, count)
A misattributed quote
A misidentified person, company, or institution
A factual error in the date, location, or sequence of an event
An incorrect characterisation of a regulator or company position

What does not require a correction

Typo fixes, dead-link replacements, image format changes, and cosmetic edits are made silently. Edits that clarify a sentence without changing meaning are noted at the foot of the story under "Updates" with a timestamp.

Audit pass: 2026-05-15 desk-internal audit against the canonical NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file for 11 May to 14 May 2026, cross-checked against the corrected weekly recap published at /shows/hafte-ka-hisaab/2026-05-15/.

2026-05-15: Closing Bell Flash - Wed 13 May 2026: What we said: NIFTY 50 closed at 24,847.15 down 0.42%; Bank Nifty at 52,614.30; India VIX printed 13.42; the 24,800 PE shelf and 25,200 CE wall framed the day's straddle.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60 (intraday low 23,262.55), India VIX printed 19.43 (intraday high 20.125). The 24,800 and 25,200 strikes were roughly 1,400 to 1,800 points above spot and were not the operative writers' band.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file. The session-close anchors did not exist in the official end-of-day archive.; What changed: Correction-note banner added immediately after frontmatter citing the bhavcopy-verified close. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Body prose preserved verbatim as the public receipt of what the desk got wrong.

2026-05-15: F&O Data Dive - Wed 13 May 2026 strike walk: What we said: NIFTY 25,000 CE as the structural ceiling and 24,800 PE as the structural floor, max-pain at 24,900, the active writers' band into the May monthly expiry.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60. The May monthly settled Thursday 14 May at 23,689.60. The 25,000 strike was 1,310 points above settlement and the 24,800 strike was 1,108 points above settlement. Neither was the operative writers' wall.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file and the NSE F&O bhavcopy settlement for the May monthly series.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Strike-walk preserved as the receipt of what the desk wrote; the operative cash range was 23,262.55 to 23,777.20 across the week, not the cited 24,800 to 25,200 band.

2026-05-15: Hafte Ka Plan - week of 18 May 2026: What we said: Forward week-of-18-May preview composed pre-2026-05-15 EOD with cited anchors referencing the week of 12 to 16 May 2026 frame and a projected Friday-close handover.; What was correct: Composed pre-2026-05-15 EOD. The prior week's anchors were over-stated against the corrected NSE bhavcopy: NIFTY 50 closed 11 May at 23,815.85, 12 May at 23,379.55, 13 May at 23,412.60, 14 May (expiry) at 23,689.60. India VIX expanded from 16.84 (prior Friday) to 18.61 (Thursday close), with an intraweek high of 20.125, rather than the compressed regime implied. Final Friday-close verification deferred to the 16:00 IST 2026-05-15 bhavcopy publication.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit during the same pass that corrected the 11 to 14 May daily editions. The forward preview inherited the same fabricated anchor stack.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter flagging both the corrected prior-week anchors and the deferred-verification status on the 2026-05-15 Friday close. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Stock-level conviction setups (RELIANCE, BAJFINANCE, TATAMOTORS) preserved pending separate verification.

2026-05-15: Kal Ki Tayyari - night desk for Thu 14 May 2026: What we said: SGX Nifty quoting thin premium of 15 to 20 points over the NSE cash close around 24,850 - a flat-to-positive handover into the expiry session.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60. The cited 24,850 close does not exist in the NSE end-of-day archive. The expiry-day handover the desk was preparing for opened against a corrected 23,412.60 anchor that did rally to a 23,689.60 close on Thursday.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy and the expiry-day settlement record.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. The structural night-desk read on the cross-asset handover is preserved; the Indian-close anchor it was hung on was wrong.

2026-05-15: Kal Ki Tayyari - night desk for Wed 13 May 2026: What we said: Indian market closed near 24,860 on 2026-05-12, rupee anchored at 84.10, US 10Y near 4.32%, Brent near $82 - a constructive shrug into the overnight handover.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-12: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,379.55. The cited 24,860 close does not exist in the NSE end-of-day archive. The rupee, US 10Y, and Brent overnight prints stand on their own and are not in scope of the correction.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Cross-asset overnight commentary preserved; the Indian-session close anchor was the fabrication.

2026-05-15: Opening 15 - Tue 12 May 2026 first quarter-hour: What we said: NIFTY opened at 24,908.45 against prior close 24,847.30, faded to 24,919.80 by 09:30. India VIX printed 12.86 walking in and ticked to 12.71. Bank Nifty at 52,408.70.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-12: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,379.55, the day printed an intraday low of 23,348.40. India VIX closed at 19.28. The opening tape on 2026-05-12 was a gap-down continuation of the Monday slide, not an extension above 24,900.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file. The cited gap-up framing inverts the actual Monday-into-Tuesday tape.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. The full prose, including the inverted gap framing, is preserved as the receipt.

2026-05-15: Opening 15 - Wed 13 May 2026 first quarter-hour: What we said: NIFTY opened 24,902.45 against prior close 24,847.30, sat at 24,889.40 by 09:30. India VIX softened to 12.71 (a one-month low). Bank Nifty opened 52,381.20 vs prior 52,316.10.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60. India VIX closed at 19.43, intraday high 20.125 - a multi-month high, not a one-month low. The day was a continuation of the week's correction, not a defended gap above 24,900.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Body preserved as the public receipt of the inverted volatility framing.

2026-05-15: Opening Move - Tue 12 May 2026 cash open: What we said: India VIX near 12.4 inside a textbook-pinning setup; the weekly option chain showed the heaviest call writing at 24,500 and put writing at 24,200; Bank Nifty put bid near 53,000.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-12: India VIX closed at 19.28 (Monday open had already gapped to 18.55, a 10.17% jump). The 24,500 and 24,200 strikes were over 1,000 points above the operative cash band that closed 23,379.55. BANKNIFTY Monday close was 54,439.90; the 53,000 strike was below spot, not the operative defended floor.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy and India VIX archive for the week of 11 to 15 May 2026.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. The original prose stays as published; the corrected anchors are pinned at the top of the page.

2026-05-15: Opening Move - Wed 13 May 2026 cash open: What we said: India VIX printed near 12.4 at the 2026-05-12 close; the highest weekly call OI sat at 24,800 and the highest put OI at 24,500, framing a 300-point pinning band for the first hour.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-12: India VIX closed at 19.28. NIFTY closed at 23,379.55. The 24,500 to 24,800 band cited as the operative pinning corridor was over 1,100 points above the actual cash close.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Original prose preserved as the receipt of the fabricated pinning corridor.

2026-05-15: Pratham Khabar - Tue 12 May 2026 sunrise frame: What we said: Overnight US tape framing for a flat-to-mildly-positive Indian cash open against an implied prior-Friday anchor; USDINR at 84.16 onshore, US 10Y at 4.33%, DXY 104.82.; What was correct: The US/global overnight reads (S&P 500 5,847.20, USDINR 84.16, DXY 104.82, US 10Y 4.33%, Brent 74.62) are external prints and stand independently. The implicit Indian anchor framing the open did not match the NSE bhavcopy: NIFTY 50 closed Friday 9 May at 24,176.15 and gapped down on Monday 11 May to 23,815.85, so the 2026-05-12 setup inherited a fragile tape, not the consolidation regime implied.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit cross-checked the overnight global prints (these held) against the NSE bhavcopy anchors for the receiving Indian session (these did not).; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter clarifying that the global overnight handover reads are accurate and the structural read of the receiving Indian session anchor is the part that needed correction. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added.

2026-05-15: Pratham Khabar - Wed 13 May 2026 sunrise frame: What we said: Wall Street mixed-but-firm overnight handover with SGX Nifty pointing to a flat-to-firm open; CBOE VIX 14.85 (compressed), Brent 78.42, DXY 105.18, USDINR RBI reference 84.12.; What was correct: The US/global overnight prints stand. The Indian-session anchor implied by the framing (a flat-to-firm open above 24,800) does not match the NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60, India VIX at 19.43. The cash session was the third consecutive correction day, not a flat-to-firm consolidation.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit. Overnight global prints verified; the Indian-session structural read was the gap.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Overnight global commentary preserved as accurate; the implied Indian anchor flagged.

2026-05-15: Pre-Close Watch - Wed 13 May 2026: What we said: NIFTY drifted into the 13:30 print at 24,847 inside a 24,800 to 25,200 writers' straddle, BankNifty at 52,316, max-pain at 24,900.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60. The 24,800 to 25,200 band was 1,400 to 1,800 points above the operative cash range and cannot be described as the writers' straddle.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Strike-architecture commentary preserved as the public receipt; the option-chain read sat on top of fabricated spot anchors.

2026-05-15: Sectoral Pulse - Wed 13 May 2026: What we said: Mid-session rotation read with NIFTY PSU BANK, NIFTY METAL, and NIFTY PHARMA as the leadership stack against an implied 24,800-handle NIFTY 50 frame.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60. The cyclical-into-defensive sector rotation read survives the audit (Pharma and Metal leadership are visible in bhavcopy); the underlying index frame the rotation was hung on does not.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit against the NSE bhavcopy week-anchor file and the sectoral close print for 2026-05-13.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter clarifying that the sector-rotation conclusion holds on bhavcopy data but the parent-index anchor cited in body prose was off. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added.

2026-05-15: Setup Files - five reads for Tue 12 May 2026: What we said: Five stock-level structural setups (RELIANCE 1,420 to 1,440 OI underwrite, BHARTIARTL 1,580 to 1,600 supply, and three more) staged before the 2026-05-12 cash open.; What was correct: Individual stock-level OI commentary and supply zones are outside the NSE index anchor scope and are not affirmed or denied by this audit pass. What does need correction is the implicit NIFTY 50 anchor that framed the day's setup window. NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-12: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,379.55, not the 24,800-handle implied by the surrounding programming slate.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit. Stock-level claims preserved pending separate stock-by-stock verification; the parent-index framing flagged.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter clarifying that this audit pass corrects the index frame only. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. The five stock-level setups are not retracted; the day-frame anchor under them is corrected.

2026-05-15: Setup Files - five reads for Wed 13 May 2026: What we said: Five stock-level structural setups for the 2026-05-13 session against an implied NIFTY 50 frame.; What was correct: NSE bhavcopy for 2026-05-13: NIFTY 50 closed at 23,412.60, India VIX 19.43. Individual stock-level claims (RELIANCE 1,428 20-DMA, BHARTIARTL 1,580 to 1,600, etc.) are outside the index-anchor audit scope and are not affirmed or denied by this pass.; How we caught it: 2026-05-15 Friday desk audit. Stock-level claims preserved pending separate verification; the parent-index framing corrected.; What changed: Correction-note banner added after frontmatter. Frontmatter flag `corrected: true` added. Stock-level setups preserved; the index frame is the corrected layer.

Retractions

In rare cases a story may be retracted in full. A retraction means the underlying premise of the story was wrong, not just a single fact. A retraction notice replaces the original story at the same URL, explains what we got wrong, and links to whatever we publish in its place. We do not delete retracted stories from the archive.
