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. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."

      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",

    {
      "q": "How big are the classes?",
      "a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach."

      "q": "What is the average HOD Commerce salary in Champaran East?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Commerce pay in Champaran East rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
    },
    {

      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Commerce role?",
