  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",

    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",

      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted.

    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Birla High School?",
      "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities."
