Punjab Teachers Must Sign Undertaking for Extra Increment
The Punjab education department has asked teachers working in border areas to sign a promise.
This promise says they will stay in border areas for their whole job.
If they move to other areas, they won't get extra pay.
If they move after getting extra pay, they have to give it back with extra money.
This is to make sure teachers stay in border areas and not go to court later.
Punjab education department orders border area teachers to sign an undertaking for extra increment.
Teachers must commit to serving in border areas for their entire service period.
Moving to non-border areas will disqualify teachers from extra increment.
Teachers must return the increment with interest if they move after receiving it.
The decision aims to address litigations and ensure teachers stay in border areas.
