  "question": "Can teachers request a transfer within CBSE affiliated school chains?",
  "short_answer": "Yes — most CBSE school chains (DPS, DAV, Amity, Ryan, Delhi World, Chinmaya Vidyalaya, KVS, NVS) allow inter-branch transfers based on vacancy, seniority, and personal circumstances. Chain-employed teachers can typically request a transfer after 3–5 years of continuous service.",
  "answer_md": "Chain transfers are one of the biggest career benefits of working for a large group.\n\n## How transfers work\n\n- **Application:** File a transfer request through the HR office of your current branch, usually in October–December for the next academic session.\n- **Criteria evaluated:** Vacancy at the target branch, subject fit, your appraisal history, seniority.\n- **Approval authority:** Central HR / society board.\n\n## Common grounds\n\n- Spousal relocation\n- Health / medical needs (self or dependents)\n- Elderly parents in another city\n- Child's schooling\n- Career growth (moving to a larger/newer branch)\n\n## Chains with strong transfer records\n\n- Delhi Public School Society (DPSS)\n- DAV College Managing Committee (DAV)\n- Amity Group\n- KVS (mandatory 3-year transfer cycle)\n- NVS (state-level rotation)\n\n## Salary implications\n\nFor private chains, pay usually stays the same or adjusts modestly for cost-of-living. In KVS/NVS, pay follows the pay commission and is standardised nation-wide.",
