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 strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "Is there a probation period?", "a": "Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India.

ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "Most permanent teaching roles in Indian K-12 schools are open-ended after a 3–6 month probation.
