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

      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",

      "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. 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."
