      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none."

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