When are increments and bonuses given?

Most schools run yearly increments tied to the academic calendar (April cycle). Bonus structure depends on the school — confirm in writing before accepting the offer.

Will I get PF and statutory benefits?

Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining.

How do I write an application email for this Principal role?

Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line "Principal application — Jamyang School"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Jamyang School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans.
