Pigmity is an independent publication about pigmy and daily-deposit collection in India, and about the co-operative institutions that run it. It exists because the information a depositor needs is scattered across institution pages, regulator circulars and state rules, is often undated, and is rarely written for the person standing at the door with a passbook.
Who this is written for
Three readers, and the site is organised around them rather than around document types.
- The member, who wants to know what a daily-deposit account pays, what it costs to leave early, and whether the money is insured.
- The agent, who wants to understand commission, the tools of the trade, and the cash risk they personally carry.
- The co-operative bank or society, deciding how to run collection within the rules that apply to its own category.
How the facts get here
Every factual page cites its sources and shows the date each source was last checked. Institution facts are not written into prose: they live in a dataset where each value carries its source, the date it was retrieved and how far it was verified, and the pages render from that. A fact nobody publishes is recorded as not publicly stated rather than as a no, and counts printed in our prose are computed from the dataset rather than typed, so they cannot quietly go stale.
Our methodology sets out the source hierarchy and the review cycle, and the editorial policy covers how we handle rankings, funding and uncertainty. Where we could not establish something, the page says so in its own section rather than leaving a confident gap.
Who is accountable
Pigmity is published under its own name and does not yet carry a named editor or bylined authors. Until it does, responsibility for everything on the site rests with the publisher, who can be reached at hello@pigmity.com, and a correction can be requested by email. We would rather be corrected than be wrong quietly: the corrections page explains what happens to a report, including what we do when a correction changes a conclusion rather than a number.
Pages are dated twice where it matters: when they were published, and when their facts were last reviewed. A date moves when a review actually happened, not because the text was edited.
What Pigmity is not
Pigmity is not a bank, a co-operative society, a Nidhi company, a deposit-taking institution, a regulator or an adviser, and it has no affiliation with the Reserve Bank of India, DICGC, NABARD, the Ministry of Cooperation or any Registrar of Co-operative Societies. Writing about a rule is not acting under it. We never hold anyone's money.
Nothing here is financial or legal advice, and the site publishes no product recommendations. It takes no payment for placement, position or wording, runs no advertising and carries no affiliate links; the editorial policy states what will happen to those commitments if that ever changes. The disclaimer sets out the limits of what a reader should take from any page here.
Getting in touch
Questions, corrections and anything an institution wants recorded: hello@pigmity.com. Our forms are closed at present, and the privacy page explains what that means and what the site does and does not collect while they are.
Mail to hello@pigmity.com is not being delivered yet, so a message sent there will not reach Pigmity. This notice will be removed once delivery has been confirmed.
