Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter." }, { "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.

The final letter will spell out renewal and exit terms." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Gurukul Sr.Sec.School Dharmshala?", "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (state-board) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification." } ] }
